Some customers have introduced high speed SSDs with JMicron's RAID controller JMB390, plus two JMF602B controllers . The target performance is 233MB/sec on sequential read and 166MB/sec on sequential write. Moving forward, JMicron is developing SSD controllers with DRAM cache and it is expected to ...

If you need to buy a new OS anyway, there is no reason not to get Vista 64bit All reasons not to buy Vista are valid with Vista x64 too. In my opinion there is no need to upgrade to a 64bit operating system unless you want to use more than 4GB of memory, including whatever video card memory you hav...

SSDs appear to be coming down in price quicker than... well insert your dirty analogy of choice here. The Titan 128GB SSD has been announced with pricing of $300 USD - that's $2.35 per GB. A 300GB VelociRaptor currently costs about $0.77 USD per GB - so SSDs are only three times more expensive than...

Voodoo isn't known for making silent machines. And this one's unlikely exception.
EDIT: It has Asetek WC. Surely not quiet.

Vista/2k8 is number one in 3D mark with SLI, CPU-Z, PC-Mark 05 (which has transparency test, guess why Vista wins here). XP/2k/2k3 in 9 categories. Some don't have screenshots. You're also comparing apples to oranges here. You can't make an equal comparison when the systems you linked to have diffe...

Off the top of my head, some advantages I get from Vista: -It has much better security. I can now give my family limited accounts. Congratulations, you just found a feature that's there since NT1. I don't want to elaborate, but better security is questionable. There's a reason why all the high-end ...

You'll probably want to check out OCZ forums for the lasted developments on overcoming the stuttering issues. The latest find is using partition alignment. Some people have also had luck using SteadyState, Enhanced Write Filter, or Managed Flash Technology (a 3rd party driver). I would stay away fr...

All cheap SSDs on the market today suffer from stuttering issues.
This highly depends on your use, some don't see them at all, some find them very annoying.

I'd stay away and wait for OCZ Vertex or G-Skill, Patriot, Super Talent counterparts.

Come on, it's not that bad. They could add a window and paint it pink.

But Antec, where are you going?
With each new case they show that they can make it look worse.

The PSU looks nice indeed. But buy it to get a PSU and then buy a custom case...nope, a bad idea.

Nick, it's very charitable of you to take it upon yourself to be Microsoft's appointed vanquisher of all users who have anything uncomplimentary to say about Vista, however I fear the mountain of negative feeling towards Vista cannot be dissipated by one person alone. Very little will be achieved b...

miniITX 2.0 boards have 1 PCIe x16 = 24 drives with a controller. True, but what's the point when a miniITX case has at most room for 4 drives? Then it's cheaper to go with bigger board. 5 ;) I remember seeing a much smaller case that fit 5 too, but can't find it now, I liked it a lot. But I agree,...

After lots of thinking I've finally ordered the Lian Li A17. As mentioned here it's rather small for the large number of external 5.25" bays and a 6 bay one seems not to be that easy even with mATX. And miniITX boards do not have the number of ports necessary... Just in case someone else is interes...

Beta versions are meant for testing, not for using. Using betas is asking for troubles and in case of OS you can screw a lot.

I thought it's a typo, but you wrote it twice. You mean 120 GB SSDs?

Yeah, I've been looking for such thing some time ago too. Good that there are more people who find it useful, maybe one day...

I wouldn't do it w/out ECC either. X38 supports it. Too bad you bought the machine already. I've realised this as well, but then - I'm almost sure - it wouldn't support the full 16GB. Anyway, my way is probably the cheapest solution for this amount of RAM. You're right, my bad. So 16 GB ECC indeed ...

Thanks! Good comments. Woops, too late, I've already ordered all the pieces. I didn't consider a Nehalem plattform as the software doesn't even support more than one core, nor does it support GPU processing. Well and there is also a "slight" price problem... I'm a scientist myself, so my finance kn...

Personally I wouldn't go that route. Newegg has the OCZ 1SLD30G for $70. It's an MLC drive with the JMF602 control chip. 160/90 MB/s sequential speeds. It's been working great for me. It does slow down quite a bit during unzipping or other times of lots of small writes, but for $70, I'm not complai...

Don't count on it. Probably Vertex or it's Super Talent equivalent is going to be the cheapest worthwhile drive.

SSDs have been running "internal RAID 0" for years. The Intel MLC drive, for example, utilizes a 10-channel controller. I believe the JMicron used in the OCZ drives is 6-channel. My understanding is that parallelization is what's really been driving increases in SSD speed. I don't think the speed o...

Well, what do you know... I just voided the warranty on my drive by popping it open. It uses a JMF602 controller, which is what the Core V2 uses. I don't know if I'm lucky or what, but I'm not experiencing stutters like many Core V2 owners have been. I'm running XP SP2 with stock settings, no tweak...

Since the price is $3000 for 80 GB, who cares? Of course it can be fixed Who cares about capacity in here? How much does your OS take? My < 20 GB with all programs. I concur. My main gamming rig currently is using 18gb of storage in total. Unless your recording/saving your DVD collection on your ha...

Supermicro has a bigger model, with 80mm fans.

SuperTalent offers the same drives under own brand...and they have a 16 GB model too.

Mention is made of the inability to use these as a boot drive "for now". Will be interesting to see if the forthcoming consumer version can be used as a boot device. Since the price is $3000 for 80 GB, who cares? Of course it can be fixed Who cares about capacity in here? How much does your OS take...

Smooth, powerful performance for all kinds of applications including HD video. HD video is not too ambitious goal. This box is low-middle end and is very far from fulfilling this promise unless you modify it a bit. Smooth, powerful performance for all kinds of applications. As long as they have no ...

I don't understand this sentence either, but I've heard that NaK can't be used in the US as it's explosive.

Review.
Worse than TRUE.

OCZ posted some beta quality solution to the issue for 32 bit OSes.
So they might be worth 50$ for some.

Intel launched a low power chipset for Atom several months ago.
