Has anyone here taken the plunge yet?

[ReverendMaynard]

I think the only thing holding anyone back is high PCIE freq testing. How do they cope with 110+? I'm sure when that gets answered you'll see some hardcore PCM5 benchin.

Two of the newer ssd drive's (VertexII, Crucial RealSSD) in raid0 will eat this puppy alive.

I heard that too jor, but this is nice size and doesnt need a raid card

Sorry I didn't make myself clear guys. It's 2 of the newer drives + a controller will eat it alive, but if you take the controller out of the mix it will be give or take and this Revodrive is cheaper then 2 Vertex II

Why not just make this with the SATA III interface? I know the current jMicron SATA III controllers suck but I bet it would fly with a controller??? Maybe even make it like the Acards and have two sata plugs?

Yeah man, not accounting for the $600 controller to make those two vertex 2's really sing, the tables turn sharply.

From my POV, SSD's are a joke and will be until we see the sataIII action like chuch mentioned. Seems really stupid to me that there isn't a WHOLE generation of SIII SSD's available and where already 2 generations in with motherboards that have (shitty) SIII control.
