Title: PCI-E SSDs: 1.4GB/s write speeds
Post by: Kudistos Megistos on 2010-11-10 21:46:04
Goddammit, I want one of these (http://www.scan.co.uk/products/2tb-ocz-technology-z-drive-p88-mlc-flash-x8-pci-e-ssd-read-1400mb-s-write-1400mb-s-512mb-cache). >:( It makes me wonder whether traditional SSDs are going to become obsolete just as they become affordable.

On a related note: is it me, or did SSD and DDR3 RAM prices both plummet recently?

I've known about them for a while, but this was the first time I've seen them on sale and the first time I'd seen such high read/write speeds. Mind you, I haven't really been looking at component prices much since I built my last PC...

Maybe i could sell one of my legs. I bet they fetch a decent price. My dream build just keeps getting more expensive  :-\

Or you could start selling the Team Avalanche patch; I'm sure there are plenty of suckersgood honest people who would pay a lot of money about it. Just don't tell Squeenix.

Apparently there is someone out there already doing that. With a bunch of other good mods.

I've heard many stories about this mysterious person. Unfortunately, no-one will tell me who it is.
