New Crucial C300 SSD Available Monday!
Anybody else here looking forward to the release of the new Crucial SSD drives? If you aren't aware of it, you can google some reviews. 320-350 mb/s read speeds, 220 mb/s write speeds! It looks like it should be the best performing consumer SSD available to date. It should be $500 for the 128 gb drive at release. Not cheap by any means but still not too bad relative to some of the other SSD drives given the performance.
I found the Caviar Black too noisy, so I bought a Seagate 7200.12 to replace it and while much less noisy it died 2 weeks ago after being in use for less than a month. I tried to get a new Samsung F3 on Monday, but the clowns I bought it from at Compu2000 didn't bother to tell me until Thursday when I had to ask them if my order had shipped that even though it showed in stock and they charged my card the day I ordered, they didn't actually have any. So I ordered an OCZ Vertex at NCIX yesterday, but must have made a mistake entering my credit card info because the order didn't go through.
I took that as a sign that now being only 2 days away from the release of these new drives that I should just wait and see if they live up to the hype. I'll use the C300 for Window and programs, and a quiet WD SE16 640 gb for storage with the Caviar Black doing backup duty.
The new drive should make my PC considerably faster coming from an HDD.
