Wow!

I've got 2xM225 128Gb Crucial drives in Raid 0 and have been happy with the performance for the past year, but this makes me look at my crddit card and think about going to town. I'm simply stunned.

Good to see them breaking the 1Gb/s mark.
But what we need is higher capacity 400mb/s+ SSDs with a better gb/£, the gulf between the speed of older HDDs is getting bigger, so relying on them for mass storage is evidently slower.

I'm intrigued that these drives seem to be tuned for better random write performance than random read performance. Surely you'd need a fairly specific workload for that to be advatnageous?
CAn't find this promotional price on amazon.co.uk that was listed at the end of the article....

1GB/s sequential isn't everything though, the IOPS is lower and it's beaten out in other tests by alternative configurations.
Many commentators have remarked that outside of benchmarks it's hard to tell the difference between any modern SSD solution, and any will be much faster than a spinning disk. I question the sense in RAID 0 when you'd be hard pressed to tell the difference in everyday use from a 128GB m4.
