By the looks of it, the biggest issue is fitting it in your case - it looks like it needs a vacant slot on either slide of it to fit!

Well if you think thats fast then check out Samsungs little experiment. 2GB per second (yes bytes not bits)!

Well that was just a RAM drive, wasn't it? So you'd lose all the data on it when it wasn't powered, whereas today's SSDs use non-volatile memory.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't they just use 4 256GB SSDs? So technically we still won't be seeing true 1TB SSDs for a while yet.

If you use a full blown hardware RAID card from the likes of Areca then similar numbers can be achieved by mere mortals apparently.

Am experimenting with a 4 x SSD (Samsung SLC) RAID 0 (Intel ICH10) setup at the mo. Getting 7.9 on the Windows 7 "experience" index (yes I'm playing again though this time on a new system). Gonna run some more benchmarks later this week.

utilising multiple drives in a raid array will most defiantly be quicker than having one big 1TB drive. plus cheaper to produce.

@smc8788 I think you could get battery-backedup versions so it wasn't completely flawed.

Specifically it's a PCI-E 8x slot, so quite a few motherboards won't fit it (you either need a spare 16x slot operating at 4x or above or a rare 8x slot).

PCI-E 1x is only 250MB/s(1.0) or 500MB/s (2.0).

@smc8788: What's a 'True' 1TB ssd? They're all made up of chips of smaller capacity so where do you draw the line between one and several SSDs? Different boxes? But that's not the case here...
