"SanDisk G3 SSDs stand to get five times as fast as the fastest 7,200 RPM HDDs, clocking in at up to 40,000 vRPM and anticipated sequential performance of 200MB/s read and 140MB/s write." [link ]

our usage is like 99% reads, so the write times don't matter as much.
only problem... this is an OEM device. (i have been told you can get it for $249 to the OEM)
thoughts?
I reckon that the seek time benefit from SSDs outweighs any major increases in read performance, at least for our purposes.
As a single drive this looks like a very nice choice. If the figures stated are true, one of these drives almost beats two generic SSDs in raid0.
That's a SATA II interface I see on the picture.-
I'd rather get a 300gb Velociraptor
The read difference is actually not that big, and the raptors write a lot faster.
the SSD disk blows the raptor away m8. its the seek time thats important for us gamers.
