Show us your SSD performance

^Sorry to hear that tw33k.. That must really suck.. Tough break!!

I know..sucks. I ordered another one so should be back in business early next week. I'm looking forward to March when "Bulldozer" and the C400 are released. I'll be getting all new parts (MOBO, the C400, CPU and RAM) In other words, a whole new system. Can't wait!

tw33k, Sorry about the problem. I just got through RAMing the MOBO and having 'fun' putting it back together. But, if you have decided to get the new Bulldozer - you must know something about it. I've been waiting for the release to find out about it and how it compares to Sandy Bridge. Don't keep me in suspense- tell us.

Performance wise, AMD are keeping any and all info to themselves. There's been lots of speculation but most if it is just fanboy FUD (from both sides) Here's a good read: AMD's Bulldozer Microprocessors Expected to Offer 50% Higher Performance than Core i7, Phenom II Chips - X-bit labs

tw33k, thanks for the link. It sounds interesting we'll see in another month.

It will be good for everyone if AMD can get back in the "top performance" race and not be just the "budget" alternative.

I agree. The new AM3+ socket should really challenge Intel for performance

(a little off topic but a good discussion none-the less)

Isn't Bulldozer supposed to be the server based chip...like the Opteron's? I thought they weren't intended for most consumer use...or would be cost prohibitive compared to alternatives?

This doc seems to indicate that Bulldozer could be 50% faster than previous AMD offerings!. It goes on to further extrapolate that a 1090T at 50% faster would be right about equivalent with the Intel 980X. And if the Bulldozer chips don't come out soon or are delayed for 6-9 months, who knows where Sandy Bridge will be.

pparks1, As I understand it at least most versions of bulldozer will be for consumer use, Bobcat is supposed to be server based.

I am using the new 1.28 Firmware on my OCZ Vertex2 and can only report good things nothing untoward has happened at all. Not sure if this is for all OCZ Drives but I thought I would upload this OCZ Toolbox for you all.

Sorry was tired and forgot.
