Hi there


SSD's are about to get upto a 50% speed boost and people will be happy to hear its not via raiding them, but down to a new interface, known as M2 which will be present on the new Intel chipset mainboards coming May/June time. Plextor are allowing you to use this new faster technology also in older mainboards by placing the M2 SSD onto a PCI-E card. The performance is very impressive considering these are not raided SSD's like the PCI-E varients normally are.

Also the prices are very good for PCI-E SSD's, the lowest we've seen yet:-
