hmm... recently picked up an MX100 (512 Gig) for about 170 euros which is rated for 550MB/s read and 500MB/s write, so not sure whether these drives are really that much of a bargain... let's see how much they'll cost when they're available...
most SSD are around that price right now. Samsung 840 EVO 500GB is £164.99 on amazon

Great review Tom. I might have to pickup a pair of 512 - they are only 249.99 at Newegg.com right now - 11% discount. I wonder how they would do in Raid 0 as a main drive in my Hackintosh. Then I take the Samsung 840 Evo 750 GB for the birthday rig.

I wish these would have hit the market sooner. I would have happily picked up 2 of these 512GB for RAID 0 over my regular Samsung 840s. Just 1 of these 512GB write speed is equal to both of my Samsung RAID 0 write speed, sequential at least, they're still good at 4k speeds. The green would have gone better with my build too. These are going to fly off the shelves.

Raid 0 nowadays is very stable compared to what it use to be, You would be looking at roughly double the performance

I would only consider it with SSD's. Normal hard drives never get stripped without parity (Raid 5 . . .) I can't take that kind of risk.
Maybe I am just an old-school nerd.

MX100 is the name.
I watched the video and the crucial drive with the better /GB price and better performance (bigger models at least), wasn't even mentioned. C' mon editors - don't feed the trolls that much ^_^
Corsair is an absolute underdog in the ssd market. Crucial makes their nand (micron) and sell a lot, Samsung makes their nand (and keeps the better staff) and Intel... is Intel: brand loyalty is king. Corsair bit more than she could chew, in that segment.

I have the Corsair LX 256 in my system right at this moment and compared to the Crucial I also have installed next to it, the LX boots and loads just that bit quicker, the noticeable difference is in Photoshop with access to mass libraries of fonts, filters and patterns it easily out performs it.

The Crucial V4 SSDs are much slower than the Crucial MX100 ones.
The V4s are 230 MB/s read and 100 MB/s write, the MX100s are 550 MB/s read and 300 MB/s write.
I have the 256gb MX100 and everything in PS loads pretty much instantly. The Corsair LX drives are good SSDs but the Crucial MX are the same specs and cheaper.
