£1200... I thought about it but for that I'd rather raid some ssd's...

I set 2 of my hdds in raid0 and noticed no difference at all... I think you might feel the difference moving from hdd to ssd but 7.2k to 10k I doubt it...

I have my CF cards and SATA adaptor ready for the RAID0 testing i said about I just haven't built the PC up yet.
Should either be really good or smoke in incredible fashion

For that price, I can understand. But to be honest, these will be insane. I think at the moment they are more designed for large companies. Hmm, I was reading that ssd's weren't al lthat great. Especially the write speeds...

SSD's are better for small packets. Regular harddrives have to search about 8 ms before finding certain data or a place to write data. SSD's can do that in 0.1 - 0.35 ms. And with small packets the write speed matters less than the search time.

Edit: and those read/write speeds are also why I suggested setting two OCZ's in raid :P

Core series SSD drives are available in capacities of 32GB, 64GB, and 128GB and deliver incredible 120-143 MB/s 80-93 MB/s read/write speeds and seek times of less than 0.35ms, making the Core series up to 10x as fast on a seek-time basis and up to 40% faster on a R/W basis that the best performing 2.5” HDDs on the market, all while consuming 50% less power.

Specifications

# Part Number: OCZSSD2-1C32G
# Available in 32GB, 64GB, 128GB capacities
# Read 120-143 MB/sec
# Write 80-93 MB/sec

Looks quite fair to me :) Will probably come close to 3.5" disks.

You should try out a Matrix Slice mate.

Googled it, and hell I'm interested :|

"Currently this feature only available for Intel ICHxR Intel South Bridge chip and Areca Raid controller." Anything known about which motherboards have these southbridge chips? :o

I really started thinking about buying two 500 gb 7200.11's and slicing them up to 100GB programs/OS in raid0 and 400GB raid1 data now :o

Heres an outcome of 6 250gig Seagate 7200.11s

The guy who did that i believe was using an Asus Maximus Extreme. (the pic)

The ICH9R/DO is used in the Asus P5E series, at which I was looking for my future rig. That's some good news :D

I could pick up four 7200.10 250GBs for €160 or two 7200.11 500GBs for €120 here. And I bet eBay can get me some too. Only problem with eBay is that it's best to have identical drives, and that makes it a bit harder.

Edit: Oh, four times Samsung spinpoint T166 320GB's for €170 :)

Anyone know a cost effective way of using 10x30+g Ultra320 drives for home use ?

Cards seem so expensive, and mostly pcix, and I`m of the opinion using some kind of 160->320 would lose the effectiveness of 320 speed.
