Bragging on the WEI thread wasn't enough.
You had to post here also.

Excellent!

Hey Hopalong, the threads are on here and I am a sucker for tests and scores lol

Cheers

Paul.

Great scores.
In fact I think those scores top the Vertex 3 IOPS at $300.
I know it is a lot faster on the 4k/8k.
My Intel out does the IOPS on 4k.

Excellent set up all around!
Enjoy!
Mike

Thanks Mike, not bad for £76 ($116) then!

OCZ RevoDrive 3 X2 PCI-Express SSD - OCZ

I was planning on getting the 64GB M4 as well for my new build in Nov.

However, yesterday i got a very unexpected gift :)
A 80GB Intel 320 Series.

Just got it installed, and just imaged my 40 drive over to it and extended it.
Much more room, and even put the PF back on the OS drive. Faster than the 40GB too.

ATM Im using the 80GB as the OS drive and have the X25V 40GB set as a secondary game drive.
I just move games Im currently playing from Steam directory to it, and create a junction.


Which leads to me wonder if I should just keep it as is, or go ahead and grab a M4 for the OS and use the 80GB Intel for a secondary game drive.


How are the M4s over long term?
For example, my Intel drive would keep its performance (albiet slower overall) over months of use and restores. I expect the same from the 320.


I am happy with the 320 though. Still just shows a 7.6 in WEI, same as the x25V did. But a clean install may possibly bump that up.

I haven't had mine for very long, so long term I really don't know. Mine is 2-3 months old and still gets 7.9. So far, I am happy with it. Of course, I have an Intel X25-m and a vertex2. They don't score as high as the M4 but would be happy with them also. I really don't think the M4's have been out long enough to really get a good idea of long term.

I wouldn't worry about an Intel X25 or 320 series as long as it scores over a 7.0 or 7.2. On my desktop, my X25-M G2 80GB scores a 7.8. On my laptop, my 320 series 80GB scores a 7.6.

Im really curious which 80gb ssd is faster.

ocz,corsair or intel?
