Holy Moly..

More than half of a Terabyte of space on a SSD!

IBIS 960GB drives have been available for ages (although they're 3.5") but doesn't really surprise me that they've got 600GB on 2.5" now.

Also still not really impressed with the price/performance/size ratio of these drives. I thought the G3s were supposed to bring better value for money.

Holy low write speeds batman! Surely thats abit of a step backwards by intel? Wouldn't a vertex 2 with 220 read/write be better?

I think RAID is the only real reason to go for these instead of Vertex 2Es.

600gb on a 2.5'' is tasty

Bit out of my price range tho :b

Another rip off pricing by Intel

Firstly these intel drives will be quicker than your vertex 2E is real life tests and not benchmarks.

Secondly the 160GB is a good £60 cheaper than the previous 160GB so that is good value for money.

lastly, 600GB for £840 is a very good price per GB with very few manufacturers offering this sort of storage at this price. (oh wait,.. the only manufacturer).

Nice to see the price per Gb has lowered drasticaly on the intel line of SSD's. Last time I was here it cost £200~ for the 80Gb version which is now also an older model. Now they are £60~ cheaper for the same amount storage and have faster speeds. Astounding how the prices have dropped so far.

Hi there

First of all these drives are faster than the previous G2 models.
Second of all these drives cost less than the slower previous G2 models.

So how does that not make for good value?

Anyone who is expecting SSD's to half in price now or later this year are dreaming, its not going to happen. Drives will just get faster for the same or slightly less money, which is still good value for the performance SSD provides.

Mechanical storage is here to stay for capacity and value basis.

I was going to buy the Crucial C 300 but would the 120GB here be a better choice? The Crucial C has a better read rate mind you.

If you have SATA-III (6Gbps) ports on your motherboard then I would go for the Crucial in order to take advantage of the higher read speeds. If you only have SATA-II then the Crucial's read speeds will be capped to around the same as the Intel's.

Wow, 600GB SSDs... Could never justify that pricing myself, but the mid range drives look really good. Intel drives excel at Random R/W access am I right? There write speeds don't look that hot compared to some other brands but as far as I remember from looking over benchmarks their real life performance was way better than most other drives' theoretical performance figures.

What SSD Should I Get? I Have A Board With Sata III 6 Gb/s I Only Really Want It To Have Windows On And Maybe CS5, Any Suggestions?

Please say I didn't make a mistake buying a OCZ Vertex 2E Bigfoot 90GB this morning.

I don't think you made a mistake, you would need to compare real usage benchmarks to find out, if the C320 shows an advantage would you ever notice?

There must be a reason why Intel have stuck with SATA-II but I can't for the life of me think what it could be.

I'm now torn between one of these and the C300.
If it had used SATA-III then it would have been Intel no question but as the price is the same for 120GB I can't help but think that the C300 is a better bet at the moment...

The drive is already seriously delayed whilst sticking with SATAII - if they'd gone for a new interface it would have been 9 months late.

Talk about one step forwards, two steps back. Don't expect this from Intel. Terrible.

Japan didn't expect an earthquake, tsunami and nuclear disaster. Not like they planned on shutting down all the factories making flash chips just to increase prices
