OCZ Core SSD v2 IN STOCK!!!

It should indeed. Install the latest Intel Matrix Storage manager (8.5), go into the program, right click on your drive and enable 'Writeback cache' for your drive. It may improve the performance, worth a try :)
 
i cannot get above 148mb , im using a 790x motherboard and vista 64 bit and cannot seem to get it to use the sata drivers that gigabyte supply it allways says microsoft drivers.

just seems to be locked at sata 150 not 300 and i am not sure how to terst my hdd controller properly.

anyone else had above 150mb ?
 
Just curious, how would you go about disabling NCQ when using a SSD drive? Surely it's not needed, and will only reduce performance...
 
Why would it reduce performance? It's a system to reorganise commands into a order that can be executed faster. A SSD will still benefit from this system, especially considering how slow they are compared to a PC's RAM.

NCQ is based on the rotation and movement of platters / motor of hard drives - which SSDs dont have.

Read the paper I linked to above, SSDs are not designed to deal with the commands and it can affect performance.
@hohum: If you disable AHCI in the bios then this includes NCQ. The only disadvantage of this is that it may disable it on all SATA ports and thus you won't get the benefit of NCQ on any conventional hard disks you may have.
 
Are these SLC or MLC? Tempted to get a pair of the 30Gb for some nice stripe action - seems you lose very little performance per disk too :)

60Gb should be enough for Vista and a few games right?

P.S. Does XP support these kind of drives?

Fair enough! :)

Although I'm curious to see if thats the case for all SSD's as that paper above just seems to be a long list of reasons why SSD's don't work as they should...

YES YES YES!!!! Work on XP and Vista. ho I havent noticed any extreme performance gains yet
 
Well I just got back from ocuk HQ with a couple of the 30gb v2 SSDs, going to do a few benchmarks for best block size before installing. Gimme a shout if you want me to test anything in particular :)

edit: will be in raid0 ofc..
 
1st go- (ignore the high CPU, was vista was updating at the time)
Quite pleased really :)
