Coming to a server near you soon? 
Nice speeds, the price still lets them down though

Great review Jim. I'm glad to see that the stutter that plagued previous SSDs has been eradicated. The price is still a little high, but it's good to see OCZ progressing with their SSD line-up.

Fantastic to see them coming along like this. However, prices let me down hugely and therefore I won't be getting one for at least another year. I wish the prices would come down faster and become more main stream like 500GB HDDs

8!? Wow, serious speeds there. I reckon he is going to be topping 1750MB/s read/write speeds! Imagine the boot/load times! *Drools....*

SouthBridge is the one you're after mate, the NB controlls other things 
He would be stupid to run it off an onboard RAID controller! As Monkey said, I hope it is on a dedicated RAID card!

Yeah for some reason I think quite a lot of people get stuck in the FPS trap. Upgrading to new graphics cards that make absolutely no difference to the games they play (other than fraps results) instead of investing in something like an SSD.
Yes it's expensive, yes it's 1/10th of the size of an F1 which costs 1/3rd of the price, but the performance is something you can see and appreciate.

And.. you only need 60gb for vista and a fair few games, which is plenty.
The way I see it, my 260 can play all the games I want to play, so upgrading will have virtually no effect apart from emptying my wallet. An SSD on the other hand, will mean that pretty much everything will be noticeably faster- that's worth having
I liked the review Jim, but my wallet didn't :yumyum:

With respect, I seen the price and didn't think it was worth digesting any further.
@ £280 for 120g, even if it went at the full bus-capable speed, it's failed immediately.
£120 for 280g is still bad. Old physical drives are going to be rolling out 2Tb drives before we know it.
In all honesty, by the time price comes down, or the tech is overlooked by something more sensible, the performance figures of the product will be completely different.
