| Re: Beans - Corsair jumps into SSD (solid-state disc) market with a splash More players the better, read/write speeds might be a bit low but if the price is right it'll still be a winner SSDs are super due to typical low access times (0.1-0.4ms or so) even Velociraptors are at least 5ms Alternative controller sounds great too. |

| Re: Beans - Corsair jumps into SSD (solid-state disc) market with a splash Interesting... not quite an Intel SSD, but I expect it won't cost £1000 either... Glad people are ditching that shonky JMicron controller. |

| Re: Beans - Corsair jumps into SSD (solid-state disc) market with a splash Can't get too excited at the sub 100 speeds, but 400?! Wow. What would that be like in RAID0?! I'm hoping the glut of manufacturers jumping on the SSD bandwagon should result in notably lower prices by the end of the year. |

| Re: Beans - Corsair jumps into SSD (solid-state disc) market with a splash Bit pointless having a 400 MB/s drive when SATA2 will be saturated at 300 MB/s...  Edit: I guess SATA 6Gb/s will be along before these come out. Should be sometime this year according to google. |

| Re: Beans - Corsair jumps into SSD (solid-state disc) market with a splash We where looking at buying some of those for our app servers. Thing is you can get that fiber channel SAN stuff which is pratically as fast, for less cost! throw new ArgumentException (String, String, Exception) |
