What do you guys think of Crucial c300 drives?
 

Thinking of picking 2 of them up :)
$149 and 64GB 6GB/S ftw?

I paid more for my 30gb vertex vanilla :ohcrap:

Thoughts? Will eventually get 3 or 4 for pcmark05 and a raid card but are these a decent investment?

Splig if you give me a bit I'll find where some guys are saying they crippled the 4k reads or writes on the 64GB version. I think that would hurt on PCmark. Vertex 2's might be a better buy, but idk the price of those.

$180 for the ocz's bit more than I wanted to spend.

lsi megaraid only (latest ones)

FTW

Jumped on this deal myself

that is super cheap...i like it

I have the 256gb version and love it. Hated what I paid for it and really hate the Marvell driver support and controller. Having to run it on Sata 2 due to bullshit Marvell controller.

How big of a difference do you see vs the raptors you used to have?

Only Raptors I had were the Sata 1.5 versions and there was a huge difference.

Its $150 AMIR on the egg... last I looked. My review of that very HDD should be up tonight...

34.3K PCmark05 HDD test stock core i7 system, compared to 2z150GB velociraptors 128K stripe getting 9.3K

285/STR 275/STW, no cache, everything read/writes right from the controller.

Uses the SF-1200 controller, so you might look at over SF-1200 SSDs if price is really an issue. Oh 3y warranty and 2million hour MTBF on the V2 60GB
