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).
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 :)

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.
