Been wondering when these were gonna show up!


...including the new 311 series...

...The 311 series set of drives are also SLC too so can take a hell of a lot of hammer when compared to the standard MLC making the drives perfect for this Z68 feature!...

Am I being blind and missing something or does the 311 SLC series set of drives consist of only one model, the 20GB?
 
SLC is more reliable, longer life, lower volts, unaffected by temps, can accept 10x the write before it dies. Way more expensive.

MLC is about bang for buck - it's perfect for larger drives, and is very controler dependant
Larger MLC drives can use firmware (wear leveling) to spread the useage, so removes it's major downside.

But smaller drives will get hammered really quickly.
Intel already have the lowest ssd failure rate. If they released a 20GB SLC drive, that selling point would be lost.
SLC is enterprise level hardware, where reliability if more important that cost.
MLC is for the home use - where cost is everything

Edit: I'm sure the 311 will be the lease sold SSD of the range - but it fills a niche market - as does watercooling
I wouldn't touch a sub 60GB MLC drive - but that just me, as the 80-128 drive offer better speeds, and are low £ per GB and allow the controller room to work.

In terms of general use, would you see a noticable difference in windows load time/game load times, writing times between the intel SSD's and say the agility 3's because the agility 3's seem to be double the specs of the Intel ones.

The Agility will be slightly faster depending on the circumstances. Sandforce drives all use compressed data to obtain their speeds whilst Intel ones use uncompressed.
