This is exciting... I use a 1TB drive for the data on my PC, it's looking like a couple of years down the line with a small premium I'll be able to use SSD for boot *and* data, then relegate the mechanicals to backup duties.
Is this using the Intel RAID setup? Just intrigued as RAID-5 was appalling on my PC at work, whereas a straight stripe was miles better since there's no parity, but I always suspected that the driver-based RAID had some overheads even in RAID-0. It's an older board though (something MSI with an i7-850 on it, not sure what, it's an off-the-shelf HP.)

Thats what i thought might have changed now though
Pretty confident that you still can't have it, i see myself fairly up to date with tech news.

The article i read about Intel working on it, but im yet to hear anything more about it.

If it doesn't it's not worth using. I did try my best to read the review, but honestly I don't really find SSDs exciting and my attention was grabbed more by the rig
VB was refering to trim for the drives on their own boys. In RAID TRIM isnt available (yet) and you need to rely on Garbage Collection to keep things swift

From what I understand Trim does not work with Raid 0. However GC does. I've been running an SSD Raid 0 setup for over a year and have yet to notice any perceivable drop in performance.
Brian, the only thing you missed out was to include your postal address.
Put ATTO on your PC.
Run it over and over for about two days.
Post the results.

now the sizes are getting better and the performance is insane all we need are the prices to drop
so jelly vb
Yep so true, i would love to have at least a 240GB SSD for about £200, that would be awesome.
I reckon very soon we could see this, past year they have dropped in price immensely
