The couriers misrouted our delivery but they'll be here tomorrow without fail.

andyroberts · 1 Apr 2009 at 19:24

I don't know you just cant trust these courier companies :rolleyes:

Oh well, I suppose you could send Mr Proudfoot in one of his super sports cars to hand deliver mine as soon as it comes in

Slackworth · 2 Apr 2009 at 12:56

They're here now and all been dispatched.

How about some benchmarks, single drive and two in RAID0?

+1

Think Ocuk should employ me as their reviewer of harddrives.

Ace, I ordered one, but phoned up now to collect. On holiday tomorrow and will be going past anyway.

Cheap when you think 30GB Vertex is £120.

Are these the same design as the 64GB ones that were floating about the last few months?

From what I've been reading - they're an even better design!!

'Me wants'

holy crap! okay I installed my lovely new Samsung SSD 256 and my macbook boots up in 28 secs and ready to use instantly! lightroom 2 and photoshop cs4 both open instantly no more spinning beach ball and waiting, i didn't even see a progress bar when using noise ninja :eek:

it makes my iMac look so slow!

Anyone with any news how its performing on the dark side... I mean Windows

It's expensive but well worth the money, now if they only made a 1TB drive

markiejt · 4 Apr 2009 at 12:48

so expensive tho thats like half the cost of my whole pc..(including keyboard mouse and monitor)

DeathTyrant · 4 Apr 2009 at 14:31

Very nice drive indeed. Imagine the damage two of these could do in RAID 0.

No. These are about 100x better hence the price.
