Wow that's so much faster... Do I just treat and plug this in like a harddrive then?

I found this: [url]http://www.dailytech.com/OCZ+to+Crash+SSD+Party+With+259+64GB+479+128GB+Mod els/article12248.htm[/url]

"OCZ is looking to trump Super Talent push down-market with faster SSDs at even lower price points. The company today announced its [url='http://www.marketwatch.com/news/story/ocz-technology-announces-core-series/story.aspx?guid=%7b92621F37-10E4-43B4-B823-53DE282CE70E%7d&dist=msr_20
new Core Series 2.5" SSDs[/url] which are the most affordable, large-capacity SSDs that we've seen to date. The 32GB, 64GB, and 128GB models are priced at $169, $259, and $479 respectively -- the drives also feature a two-year warranty."

only 250 dollars~ for a 64gb, and it says it's faster and cheaper than MemoRight. What say you sir?

If I would put all my 5 WoW directories for it to read will this mean insanely fast startup/zoning times and STILL be as fast loading small amount of data compared to if I would only let the SSD read the /data directory only? I need your wisdom!
That's the series I ordered. Once it arrives, I'll start testing. Since I haven't seen any discussions anywhere about using an SSD for the WoW/data folder, I'm not getting my hopes up yet for massive performance gains. However, based on the typical SSD benefits (great at small file reads, not as good at large file sequential transfers), it *should* work very well to host the WoW/data directory. I wouldn't put *anything* on it that I'd need to write to (I have my RAID0 Raptors for that), which means leaving the rest of WoW off it.

Also, I'm not expecting super-fast loadup times of instances or maps (ok, maybe if I RAID0 two of them later..). I'm expecting less lag from hard drive fetching in busy cities.[/quote]
Alright, please let me be one of the first to know how your testing goes. Thanks for being an invaluable help to me in getting a new computer, I'll send you 10 bucks if you got paypal.

Cheers!
