December 16, 201015 yr OCZ RevoDrive X2 OCZSSDPX-1RVDX0240 PCI-E 240GB PCI-Express x4 MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) $599 WANT.
December 16, 201015 yr $2.50 per GB..... Does that qualify as a good deal? /slobber /drool DO WANT! Yes. I paid $1500 for 1GB full height 3.5" SCSI drive. That was ~16 years ago now but I sure would like that money back now.
December 17, 201015 yr heh... got ya beat! Way back (1989?) I was building a killer system. I thought I might get into Unix work at the time, so I wanted a *big* disk. Systems then typically had 10MB (notice - mega; not giga...) drives; a big system had 20MB. A 40MB drive was Damn Big. I got a drive so big I'd probably never have to buy another. 330 megabytes... for $2200 ! Naturally, I didn't use more than 30MB for several years - and by that time 1GB drives were around. I remember when Microcenter opened up in Cambridge MA - one of their opening specials was 1GB drives for $300. I bought 3 of 'em.
December 17, 201015 yr Be warned: a friend of mine bought one of those drives (120GB version) & plugged it into a Asus Crosshair IV (with latest BIOS, see recommend motherboard list) Was able to install Windows so it was bootable & seemed to work fine, but could NOT get the system stable, had real lockups every 5 to 20min (mouse / kb not working, sound stopped playing) After several hours of reinstalling windows, different BIOS settings (voltages/IRQ's/onboard devices), re-installations of hardware, we replaced it with 3 x OCZ Vertex 2 (60GB) running in RAID0. Almost the same performance and (at the time) a whole lot cheaper than the 120GB Revodrive, and more importantly: stable The Revodrive is a great idea, but it still lacks support & compatibility. But they are super fast when they work 120GB OCZ Revodrive 3x OCZ Vertex 2 60GB (RAID0)
