Crucial SSDs

The 32GB is the faster of the two drives and reviewed here:-

Shocking performance from an SSD and its scary knowing the 64GB is even slower. Not to be touched with a barge pole and shocked at ocuk for stocking such a poor slow performing product, even more shocking ocuk say its quicker than traditional hdd's yet reviews show it to be slower.

Shop around as the samsung 64GB SSD can be had for £100 delivered and its 2-3x quicker than the crucial drive.
 
Basically you get what you pay for on cheap SSDs. The only ones worth bothering with are the £400 ones. It's annoying, but things will improve I'm sure.

That's what I wanted to know, thanks.

It's surprising though. A disk drive manufacturer is better at making SSDs than a RAM manufacturer is? Aren't SSDs basically the same stuff that RAM is made of?

How do the sammies compare to OCZ's offerings?

Not true, £100 gets you sammy 64GB drive which is fast, over £40 cheaper than this crucial SSD and 2-3x quicker, shop around ocuk is not cheapest.

Would it be worth me upgarding my raid array from 2 WD RE3 250Gb drives to 2 of the Samsung SSD's?

How much difference would I actually notice? Is it worth waiting a bit longer for the tech to mature?

I was thinking about waiting til Windows 7 and then get SSD's too for some real speed.
 
thats what most of the ram chips are made by, then companys say crucial, come along and stick their heatsink on..
