I guess this is why you didn't stock the Kingston's.
What the warrentee like on these?

BigRazer93 · 5 Jan 2010 at 15:26

3 years back to us.

These are slightly more expensive, but are they worth it

droyden · 5 Jan 2010 at 15:57

Good question, glad to see stock though

thebandit · 5 Jan 2010 at 16:00

Are these basically the same as the Kingston ones but Intel branded ?

shadowscotland · 5 Jan 2010 at 16:04

Slower published write speed (but identical spec sheets)
So £20 more for a nicer outer caseing and next day delivery (weather permitting)

daz · 5 Jan 2010 at 16:10

Get some extremes in ;o

Intel work a bit differently to the other vendors just to confuse you.

The other guys list the maximum transfer speed whereas Intel show Sustained speed instead.

Wish we could. They're in major shortages.

shadowscotland · 5 Jan 2010 at 16:31

indeed - intel data sheet linky

carrot1401 · 5 Jan 2010 at 16:34

How do these perform compared to the more expensive m225's???

shadowscotland · 5 Jan 2010 at 16:51

You need at least 2 in raid to make it worth it - then it really shines
bit-tech have a (rose tinted) review of the kingstons in 2x raid
and WJA has posted some benchs with 4x RAID in another thread

As with the full size intel drives - indilynx wins some intel wins others.
but at £196 for 2x40 it's not a bargin but still beats the 80GB X25-M.

Interesting. Might pick one of these up to use instead of an original 74Gb Raptor just before the Windows 7 RC starts misbehaving.

Bit of a shame about the Kingstons, they were cracking value (got mine for £70

) It'd be nice to see the Intels at no more than £80.

Forgive me, but what is the shame about the Kingstons? Seems to me they still represent value??

droyden · 5 Jan 2010 at 18:16

Think he means that ocuk couldnt get stock

DavyBoy · 5 Jan 2010 at 18:37

Nice to see these in stock here, I imagine they're gonna sell really quickly though...

Will you guys be getting any of the Kingston versions of these though, as I'm looking to get another pair soon.

I'd rather have the Kingstons as they are considerably cheaper, and are exactly the same drives.

droyden · 5 Jan 2010 at 18:44

See first line in OP

DavyBoy · 5 Jan 2010 at 18:45

Damn, I never noticed because of the heading in large text...

That sucks..

Do you have to use identical SSD's for RAID-0, or could I pair up 2 of these with my current Kingstons???
