I ended up deciding to get two 120G G2s. They should meet my needs for some time. I am just going to use them as boot drives.ilovejedd wrote:+1. Couldn't help but wish I bought more of them during Black Friday when they were going for $200 ($165 after MIR) a piece. I only bought two (the limit for the rebate) as I was expecting the G3 drives to arrive February. Now, we're already into March and still no signs of cheaper 25nm G3 SSD's and I need 4 more of these things.Eunos wrote:The 120GB G2 is a value sweet-spot in the meantime.
I am going to use 50% of the 120G to over provision them. This should increase iops by over 5x and its lifetime by over 5x.... at least according to Intel. That doesn't seem right, but that is what they say here. See:

A five times increase in IOPS seems overly much. Am I not reading that right. It seems too easy. Does anyone know what I should expect from such a jump in just the Iops attribute of performance?
