I run an Intel X25M G2 80GB on that motherboard as my boot drive, works fine. Obviously you'll be on SATA2 connections so won't make the most of the newer SSD's (hence I'm in no rush to upgrade at the mo).

Another interesting "real world" review of the drives: http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/nas/nas-reviews/31824-can-wds-red-drives-speed-up-your-nas Given these were being compared against 7200rpm drives, I think the results are excellent.

WD Red is getting my vote, just wish OC stocked them! http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/red-wd20efrx-wd30efrx-nas,review-32490.html

U2312M is 16:9 so I would definitely get the U2412M but I think this debate belongs elsewhere ;)

Took delivery this morning of 2 x U2412M (upgraded from NEC 20WGX2), very nice screens and the extra vertical resolution is a nice improvement, moving up from 1680x1050. Anti-glare coating is noticeable (compared to glossy NEC!) but not a problem for me at all.

Dammit, why are we paying so much more in the UK for these?

I tried the HDMI-DVI adapter sold here but they didn't fit next to each other on the board. I ended up getting a direct HDMI to DVI cable from elsewhere for £2(including postage, silly price...), works a treat! Another tip I found is once you have two monitors, do not enable ATI's Catalyst...

Showing as £62.99 on web site - so the price has gone up :D

As per the link "The extended warranty term will apply to all Intel SSD 320 Series drives, including those already purchased." which is good news for the one in my Sony Vaio :D Full details: http://download.intel.com/support/ssdc/hpssd/sb/5yrlimitedwarrantyssd320seriesmay102011_en.pdf

OEM and retail versions.

Sorry, misread post! I have the ICH7 in RAID mode with an SSD and trim works fine!

The 80GB is a great drive, it's capacity should not come as a shock or disappointment ;)

No, no SSD's support trim in a RAID config at present.

Excellent - hope they're a good price too ;)

I'm still waiting for the 120GB Intel - where is it?

As there are no moving parts in SSD's, velcro sounds like a fine idea to me :D

I'd say the Intel 120GB drive for just a little more than £150. Trim described here, it's a feature of the drive to ensure it remains operating at optimum performance: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TRIM

The 120GB is an ideal size/price for Windows 7 installs. Why are they not in stock here yet though?
