That looks real good. Access time is even under 0.1ms. And again the typical double dip of the Vertex. I wonder what does that. You see that on all Vertex.

Intel 120GB SSDs $240
Newegg.com - Intel X25-M SSDSA2MH120G2K5 2.5" 120GB SATA II MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)

Doesn't seem bad considering the 80GB versions are still in the $200 range.
and the next step up is the 160GB which is in the $400 range.

Thinking about grabbing one

You made me look to see what the price was

SSD prices sure aren't coming down that much lately :/ You'd sort of think by now that a 160 would be about $240 or so... Maybe the G3's will see a prce drop due to the change in process (crosses fingers).

That is still a lot of money for a 120GB - although that seems to be the going rate. I would wait until it goes on special.

Good access times, that's the same as my X25 V

Looks tempting, has anyone seen a review of the Intel 120GB?
It's a X25 M so it should have 10 channels.

Think I'll (try) wait for the G3s to come out, if their prices don't come down then this Intel 120GB should drop in price.

EDIT:
Google is your friend

My WEI score for primary hd has gone up finally from 5.9 to 7.7, overall score is now 6.5.

Did you have to do anything to make your score go up swarfega? I was wondering why your access times were so slow before.

Ok I found the post, it looks like changing the sata port got your DMA 6 working so now your access times are fast again! I knew there had to be something wrong just wasn't sure what.

low WEI score for new SSD

You guys helped me when I was having problems with my Vertex 2 a couple weeks ago. I ended up RMA it. Just got the new one back today and it does not look much better. The numbers don't look real good, but WEI seemed to like it; I got 7.7.

How bad is it? I really don't know.

Looks pretty good.

You can see some other OCZ AS SSD scores.
