Posted: Tue Aug 12, 2008 10:19 am  With SSD out for awhile and more then likely will replace regular HDD within the next few years SSD drives are now dropping in price. Here is a 128 GIG OCZ SSD for $439.00 Check it out! http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227345&cm_sp=DailyDeal-_-20-227-345-_-Product Feedback Clan Leader Location: Indianapolis,IN Joined: Jun 24, 2006  || Posts: 1961     Posted: Tue Aug 12, 2008 10:35 am  Nice to see they are finally dropping , but still pretty salty for my taste. I would buy those new new raptor drives If I had the money. BTW what is the seek time on those SSD drives? _________________ Thumbnail, click to enlarge.

Smokin drives but still nowhere near affordable for me. Won't be too much longer though. Every month they're announcing new improved lower priced models. _________________ Feedback Clan Leader Location: Indianapolis,IN Joined: Jun 24, 2006  || Posts: 1961     Posted: Tue Aug 12, 2008 12:27 pm  Holy shit those are quick. That will be a laptops dream machine right now , get rid of those shitty 5400 rpm drives. _________________ Thumbnail, click to enlarge.

I would like to get two in Raid 0 or 1 but the only problem is space. 128gigs isn't that much considering I just reinstalled Vista and I am using 200 gigs already. I read that OCZ will be releasing a 256gig model for about the same price in the next few months.         T3 Gaming Community Forum Index » Hardware     Page 1 of 1   All times are GMT - 6 Hours   Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First  Jump to: Select a forum Website----------------Forum Rules & InformationAnnoucementsSuggestion BoxReport Problems Servers----------------Server DiscussionBanned DisputeCustom MapsSubmit A Demo Clan Discussion----------------Member ReviewScrimsMatch/Scrim Results Random Discussion----------------Off Topic DiscussionSportsMoviesMusicGamesFunny StuffArtwork Computer Tech----------------Your RigNew StuffSoftwareHardware Recruiting----------------IntrosTF2DOD:SCS:SKill Shit/Have Fun!COD  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum Custom Theme by Ped, Clan Themes Copyright © 2007
