About 10 posts down you will find a post labelled Micron C300.

Oh poo!

My title was more exciting!

I'm just glad i have managed to wait getting a SSD so far

Sata 3 won't that mean a new board though ?

SATA2 hasn't been maxed out yet so I don't see a need to upgrade.

ChileanLlama · 3 Dec 2009 at 13:13

These are 355MB/s though, SATA2 is 300MB/s so they will max out SATA2.

Jabbs · 3 Dec 2009 at 13:14

Thats what i am saying to get sata 3 working i guess its a new motherboard/ sata controller so if so not such a cheap upgrade.

3GBit/s = 383MB/sec.

300MB/s according to SATA org's own datasheets...

They need to stop misusing Gbit/s then.

I agree

it's 3Gb/s but SATA uses 8b/10b encoding, so your
3Gb/s = 375MB/s
375MB/s * 8b/10b = 300MB/s actual max data transfer rate.

Thanks for the clarification. Having studied network overhead in some detail that makes perfect sense

marketing at its best.

Wow, twice as fast as other drives.
Thats one of the cool things about SSDs IMO, unlike harddrives which have basically been the same tech for a long time and have just seen evolutionary changes in recent years, SSDs are new and things are changing quickly, new technologies are coming along and introducing step changes.

I wouldnt be surprised if we see drives in a years time that are significantly larger, faster and cheaper than those you can buy today.

that is the general rule of this game
