Your article is incorrect. This drive and all SSDNow V100+ drives use the Toshiba T6UG1XBG. A very different beast than the JMicron JMF618. These are some of, if not the best, drives to use for RAID arrays, because of their aggressive “garbage collection”.

160GB is waaayyy too little. The most I would consider is a $199 SSD 512GB drive, but I don’t think it will happen with Flash, perhaps some other solid state memory. Wondering how practical it could be a low power battery backed RAM drive for speed-up as a boot drive. With today low reliability (for both, SSD and magnetic HD … if they break, you’re screwed) backups and necessary anyway, so a RAM drive (with dual batteries) is not all that “scary”. My 1TB boot drive is always freaking full. I won’t mention the 2TB and 3TB data and temporary raids arrays.

reliability? how they can prove this? SSD are getting bigger making it failing more.

Same for me, but with a Crucial M4 (256GB)… It won’t replace my I7 into a Sandy Bridge I7, but WOW, the speed an SSD gave to a PC is impressive!

Yep, I am sorry for that, a lot of things have change since September… BUT it will be back alive soon with MUCH more news than before, just be a little bit more patient.

I recently got a 160GB Intel SSD for $120 online. It was a MAJOR speed boost to my MacBook Pro. Pricing is there if you look for it closely…

SSDs are quickly becoming bigger and cheaper

The pricing for these things is so off, I still don’t know how they are selling so well. Until they (or a similar/better technology) are at the very least 4 times cheaper, I for once am not in the list to buy one anytime soon. Raid with magnetic media it’s for me for a long time.
