for all you SSD wana bz

This is a good deal, 2 of these in raid 0 would be the $h!t. But hurry there are not many left.

You probably be limited by the sata 2 controller even though the speeds would be nothing to be sniffed at unless you had a very modern motherboard which would have the newer sata interface controller. TBH when I had the crucial SSD that was fast enough.

I'll wait until the price per GB drops below £1 before getting another SSD. 64-128GB isn't enough, and 256GB is far too expensive right now.

Same here Saundie, I'm planning to get an SSD to put my OS + Steam + other games onto so with 20+games on steam I need a 200+gb drive. Not viable with the cost at the moment.

Just picked up 2 of these, one for OS+programs, and a second for games. I shall report back sometime next week when I get around to installing em.

Ever so slightly cheaper at Scan: http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/64GB-...s-Write-70MB-s

I'm really tempted to get an SSD as I'm planning on slowly upgrading my rig soon... don't really know what's worth paying for though. The C300 sounds ace although I don't have a SATA-III mobo. The OCZ Vertex 30GB sounds tasty but thats £100 for not much space. Intel X25-V sounds decent too but again £90 for 40GB puts me off.

Haaaalp!

you don;t need a sat 3 motherboard. You can get the plug in asus sata/usb 3 controller amongst others that will bring sata 3 to your existing motherboard if you wish to do so.

been using SSD for a year, i am NOT impressed. There are serious issues with large file transfers if you use win7. I am actaully regretting my decision, and wish i spent the money buying two 1tb wd blacks for the same price

I know, I was just thinking about what you said about not taking full advantage of the C300's speed without sata 3. Just seems a bit of a waste of money for me to get one if it's not going to be used to its full potential. Anyway, new gorky bits coming soon hopefully so one of these may be included

Just got these installed last night, and I have to say they are severely rapid. Installing em would have been a pain if I hadn't found some brackets lying about, cos these things are so small they wouldn't fit any where in my case;
