Just wow. If I had that sort of money it'd be in my dream system for sure.

From anandtech:

Fhe real goal here is to RAID multiple IBIS drives together with the 4-port card. We measured maximum sequential throughput of 675MB/s for a single IBIS drive, assuming somewhat linear scaling you can expect over 2.5GB/s out of a 4-drive IBIS array. This would be all off of a single PCIe x16 card.

Is one of the prices wrong?

You seem to get a lot more value for money if you buy the 240GB version.

Hi there

Nope pricing is right, it why were not doing the 100GB version, as its only £40 cheaper than 160GB version.

So on these we shall only be doing for example 160GB, 240GB and then 400GBish as the inbetween sizes make them poor value.

I think the unit and general tech (i.e. the base costs) are high priced. The 240GB is just a case of adding extra storage with all the rest of the kit in place. Remember these come with a PCI-E card etc too.

Only thing is, no TRIM support. Quite a lot for SSD with no TRIM (you thought they would have figured out TRIM over raid 0 before releasing these SSDs)

I think its a case of they are so bloody quick, as in on another level quick that who cares, even a full drive would still probably put a Revo or a C300 to shame.

Remember these come with the HDSL card including in the box, only 1 port version though, but OCZ will be producing 4 port cards for some serious RAID fun. Anyone want upto 2.5GB/s read speed and over 2GB/s write speed. :D
