They where selling the 128gb for £49.99 so 2 of those would be cheaper and faster in Raid0 ive read about speeds of over 500mbps from a stripped set so this has to be cold £5 more for a slower setup.

Laptop users should sellotape the extra ssd to the lid i guess?

Samsung's 830 is £20 more after cash back but faster and more reliable

I don't believe that RAID and TRIM work together. I have not researched, but I suspect that additional investigation is worth while before just plonking a pair of SSDs into a RAID.

Not the best, as has been said, but worth some heat at that price (until tomorrow - LOL).

They didn't used to but you can now raid with trim support.

Returned the 128Gb Kingston that I got for £49 last week from eBuyer and gone for the 256Gb Samsung instead.
It's worth paying the extra £20 for the better Samsung drive than this Kingston. You also get the full version of Norton Ghost and the Notebook Accessory Kit.

Even though my XPS has a spare bay, that was funny

How would I go about installing a 2.5" to my Desktop?

I already have a standard 2tb hard drive in their ... what components would I need?

I want it for video editing. To simply run applications off my SSD whilst using the 2tb for storage purposes. (I will always back films up to blu rays / dvd9 anyway)

There's always going to be something more expensive costing more money...

This is still a hot deal for all the usual people joking about 256GB for £100 (well, almost).

Nice find, nearly at that £100 sweet spot for most people looking to get into SSD....

Having read the comments above, personally I think in the real world known of these access times make much difference, whichever manufacturer you go with..

Nevermind ladies/gents ... just figured it out. I need a 3.5" bracket.

I'll be pre-ordering one of these.

Hot, heat added.

Just paid for one ...

Can't wait to see what the hype is all about.

From reviews I've read, the JMicron controller in these have their own Garbage Collection algorithms and do a pretty good job in place of TRIM. So it's fine for Windows XP and I would imagine, in RAID.

By the way. Anyone who has never experienced an ssd before, I can't recommend them enough, they speed up your system more noticably than any other hardware i've ever installed.
