Anyone intesrested in a SSD?

(1/3) > >>

Ifti:
Im looking to buy a OCZ Vertex 2 SSD (240GB) for my MacBook Pro 13.

These badboys are probably the best SSDs you can buy right now (feel free to check some reviews!), since they come with the SandForce controller - many other SSDs come with an Indlinx controller, which are also prone to slowing down after a little usage (something to do with the overwriting of data etc).

For those who dont know, SSD drives are like normal HDDs in size and shape, but rather then have a spinning disc, they have memory chips - like you find in USB Keys/drives. hence they run super fast, completely silent, use less power (no moving parts), and emit less heat. Basically, they're the future!
When I say they are fast, I mean SUPER fast!

Ive managed to get hold of 2 of these drives, which have only recently been released:

http://www.ocztechnology.com/products/solid-state-drives/2-5--sata-ii/performance-enterprise-solid-state-drives/ocz-vertex-2-sata-ii-2-5--ssd.html

These units are usually around £590....

As I said, Im getting one for myself, but if I want to purchase 2, I can get them at £1k.
Just wondering if anyone else wants to get one as well, and we can get them at £500 each and save £90.....

Obviously they come brand new retail boxed and sealed.

i believe apple will be releasing a solid state time capsule soon. ssd hardrives are already available, although extremely expensive, for their laptops

you can get a 1tb normal hard drive time capsule which is also a wifi n base station and allows wireless back up for £234

as ssd becomes more mainstream which it certainly will do, the prices will plummit, so I would hold fire
