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

Well no, and I hope I'm not going to get a ban for my contributions to this thread but I personally think you'd have to be insane to trust your data on an unknown brand.

To me a purchase of this over the other options is equivalent to Gibbo posting a thread that he's purchased linglongs for his Porsche!

My prices may be a little skewed, but you can spend a tad more and get 5 year warranty with Samsung. I know where my money would be going, and it certainly wouldn't be mach.
 
Prices aren't too bad at all if you actually have an application for those speeds but a bit much to stomach if you don't have a specialist need.

I'd be semi tempted to use the 128GB one to junction map my most used game installs onto to speed up level load times. (Depending how well they work in the real world).

Already said but warranty is poor given the price for a brand that is "new" to me and many! I love my Intel 5 year warranty, confidence in the product!
 
I've been running a Mach Xtreme 80GB SSD in my Dell D420 for a couple of years now - it's a 1.8 inch ZIF drive so my options were limited! It's been faultless and easily maxes the ZIF connection (not that hard to be fair) and made the laptop so much more responsive it's unreal. After trying mine my friend got one for his D420, which gets a LOT of use, and that's been faultless too. As Gibbo said, the company has been around a while but doesn't have a big presence outside the Far East and niche products, like my tiny ZIF SSD, but they're definitely not some new Del Boy company.

That said, I'd definitely be waiting for some reviews before spending if it was my cash.

Oh, and to the people asking if you can boot from it, the thread's only just into it's second page and that's already been answered at least three times - yes, you can boot from it. :)

Yeah, read it after I posted. Not the best results sadly. Pretty safe to say I won't be buying one, but certainly an interesting direction for SSD/PCI-E storage. Might be in the market for v2 or v3 of this tech if it consistently outshines SATA based storage by then.
