The value for money one is clearly the 256GB and is our recommendation, let us know what you think of these guys. Because of course for slightly less money you could buy a pair of Samsung 840 EVO's and RAID 0 them for similar/better performance, though of course you loose TRIM then I think, so maybe not.

Crazy speed for a crazy price too!

I really doubt the manufacture costs really translate into retail price, I bet the manufacturer make a massive profit on these!

I suspect so too, pushed MX Xtreme very hard on price and got best price and were not making that much.

They are fast and the price is high, but not so high its un-reasonable, like I say the 256GB is the sweet pot. :)
 
My first thoughts are who are Mach Extreme ? never heard of em and wouldn't personally take a punt on an unknown brand for that sort of cash.

If you'd have said Intel or Corsair then I'd be interested.

Yeah I'd be interested to see how these compare to SATA drives in real world use. Are you also saying I could boot from one of these?
 
How can people justify charging this much for a glorified sata ssd? Thieves!!!

Yes.

Shall test one upon arrival and do some benchmarks for you guys.

To answer question Mach Xtreme being around years, just low-key in UK, more a Far Eastern brand. :)

if SATA specification doesnt get better real soon, i can see a lot of SSD's coming out in this format

which means hopefully the prices will drop :)
 
Interesting but a couple of things stand out -

Price is very high for capacity that you are getting.

You can easily beat the performance by buying 2 128GB Samsung EVO's on an onboard intel controller.

The IOP's are pretty low for the 128GB drive.

Biggest issue is the warranty which for something that price is pretty low. 2 years is the bare European minimum.

For this kind of investment I'd be looking for 3-5 years.
 
I'd rather take my chance with my data on an ocz drive than an unknown far eastern brand.

You're right in what you say though Gibbo, the samsungs are a far better deal. From what I read iirc, you don't lose trim on any modern motherboard.
 
7 Series motherboards support it :

Ocuk 2x 840 Evo 120's makes for £167.98 for faster more reliable storage I know which way I'd be headed! Good on you for trying something new Gibbo, but for most people I'd imagine reliability and reputation to be very important.

Infact : £168 for theoretical 1080mb/s read and 820mb/s write is criminally good value compared to these!

Edit again :

£300 gets you 500gb of 840 evo raid goodness :

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HD-168-SA

Again theoretical but 1080mb/s read and 1020mb/s write! For the same capacity of *I cant remember the brand*Mach (I had gilette in my head for some reason!) you're looking at over double!

Damn, that 256GB drive is realllll tempting for my new build ;) :cool:

When you could have two samsungs far cheaper,faster and with a reliability track record, may I ask why?

Edit : Just realised these only have two year warranty too! Not good for the price of them.
 
I know the PCIe SSD's on the Apple machines have been giving great results and great on my Air. These look like best of the best at the mo :cool:

Obviously not for the sane among us :p
