pci-e ssd

Take a look at this

Does any1 know if the p67 sabertooth will allow boot thru pci-e? because then i would grab one in 2 months time

EDIT: So the sabertooth only has 8x/8x if i put my gpu in the first and the revo in the second will my gpu only run at 8x?

yeah them pci-e revo's are hard to beat for performance but not cost to performance. If I had the cash I'd give one a try.

im interested in one for my LGA 2011 build which ive already started making plans for

I love it, the sata 3 interface is already a bottleneck... I read a while ago that OCZ were trying to get manufacturers to adopt a new proprietary motherboard interface because they realised that sata 3 just wasn't gonna be quick enough. Theoretically they could have 16 * 250MB/s on a 16 pci-e slot. Give it a year and they'll be pushing the boundaries of this as well.

double post sorry...

Now those are some speeds I did not expect to see any time soon from a HDD.

I am loving this step forward in one of the main things holding computers back today. $700 is a lot for a SSD but this dose seem worth it.

If you're coming from say a vertex 3 to one of these I wonder how noticeable the speed difference would be in every day tasks? Games will load quicker, but aren't we going to get to the point that unless we are loading huge data sets that we won't really notice the extra speed?

If it is compatible with my sabertooth i will be getting one

i currently run my OS off a OCZ RevoDrive X2 (240 GB). it's really fast, running stable with no problems at all in a slightly overclocked system. BUT: the firmware part (option rom) that's being loaded into a small memory segment at startup is really large. depending on the board (here currently rampage 3) you may need to disable some of the other mass storage controllers. after a bios update for example i am not able to get the intel raid running with the RevoDrive in place. i'm stuck with AHCI now. there's simply not enough space in that small part of memory being used to boot the firmware. but like i said, this is depending on the board and its bios. i can't tell if your desired sabertooth would have that problem or not. just be prepared to sacrifice intel raid and use AHCI instead. but you can always stripe or mirror a drive in windows 7. won't be too much of a difference considering that this onboard intel stuff isn't real hardware raid at all.
