Access times are typically five to twenty times worse then hard drives, the write access times. 

You guys just there to pimp products?


Dont the new versions of DriveMaster MX have 80GB of write speeds ? and $100 rebates ?

And doesnt OCZ SATA II have 128GB for $479 and 120MB/sec read + 93 mb/sec write speeds ?


right-click on the shortcut for the application, goto properties, goto compatability, enable it and select XP.

This works, i've run hdtach for multiple hard drives under vista, it runs perfectly normal.

Article is NOT really Honest. Although read/write speed is amoung all SSD, if you enlarge graphs 2X, you'll Notice that final data transfer was mere 8 mb/s, on bottom graph.I don't even see Super Talent on upper graphs at all. Hockie.

About best any Ultie system seems to put out. Again, for Thrid Millionth Time, Machine just cann't handle more. So Vista Ultimate is Whooper shrunken, very shrunken & remains with same troubles as year ago, when first Ultimate Mains started to arrive. When SSD Arives at americas' Shores, that Plays Ultimate at TOP Data Speeds....I will disarm it, Give U.S.A. wealth eqully to ALL Euros & make deals with Reds...etc,Obranden Von ...

Well, I guess we have to deal with these stupid roman inches forever. The actual size of the disk is 10*7*9.5 cm^3. Now you can go and find a matching external enclosure, if you like.

Directron (USA) seems to offer the SSD now. The price should be on the Ugly list.

15GB $216.99
30GB $296.99
60GB $455.99
120GB $728.99

How can you review in terms of price/performance if you don't mention the price?

£433.98 sound fair for 60GB

Slow write speed shouldn't be actual problem, as temporary memory is machines high speed write to, when writing & reading is progression of work.

As far as Ultimate, especially 64, it figures it'd go off chart with such long bit strings & huge files.

Its' Gonnads are going to need trumpeting to get hard blast through. Where to put all that read & how to endure it. Still Controller problem. Yet, What Choice is there, really. Linux is NOT "true" answer to any problems, just stop gap solution.

Each NEW offerring brings crowds Hopes Up, Smiles & bright shiny faces for bright shiny New Instrument. Carry On.

awesome drives, no doubt about it, even blows velocraptors outa the water, the super talent is relatively cheap compaired to some of its counter parts, but at still around $350 a pop (60 gig) i cant see joe public adopting it en masse in the near future :O)
