pls note that the *VTXE* model numbers is not vertex 2 EX series

*VTXEX* is the model numbers for Vertex 2 EX series

and your prices for the Vertex 2 is abit higher than the retail

I've had the x25-m for 2 weeks now, installed into my laptop...I have to say, it's the best upgrade that I've done so far...

earlier i've had doubts, with regards to the reliability, trim/ahci activation, etc etc...in the 1st week, but after that, it's like normal....and the speed actually compensates all the doubts on ssds that I had earlier....

yalor, also notice this in garage sales some sellers advertise em as Vertex2 EX.
Something wrong at distro's catalogue

u wont go wrong with Intel SSD

tmr i will install vertex 2 60 gb in my laptop any tips?

what do u guys think after 1 yr will 480 gb ssds cost become 200 to 250 usd?

it will come down

but difficult to predict exactly.. but according to moore's law... semicon prices should be 50% cheaper every 18 months

You don't need to install anything. Everything would be the same as your previous drive.

480 currently is usd 1150 so after 18 months usd 575 darn it

Lousy is relative.

In my experience, building a huge application from source code on a Samsung F3 1TB took me six plus hours. Then I later got another Kingston SSD and then move the build process into there. The new build time on the otherwise same machine? Three plus hours.

And then later I got a brand new i5 laptop and moved the same Kingston SSD onto it to do the same job. The time taken? Two plus hours.

What this means is that I got a much bigger performance improvement from a "lousy value series" than I would have putting down money to upgrade my Phenom II X3 for an i5.

On a cost/GB ratio and for the capacity given, while being a "lousy value series", it still has significant value for people upgrading from HDDs.

I would say that I'm totally agree with you on this one. As per my requirement, I don't really want a speedy SSD, what I want is a replacement storage for my carpc. 64GB is I believe good enough since from the 320GB HD that I've right now, only 20GB is used up and the reason why I wanted an SSD is because I've previously had HDD failed on me and the current one showing the same symptom. With no-moving part in SSD, it will surely helps me a lot.

hey guys i m currently using ocz vertex 2 60 gb as a boot and 2+yr old western digital scorpio 320gb as a storage drive in my laptop.

Boot time is longer after i installed the ssd why is that? also i did a clean install of windows by dvd drive installation took around 25~30 mins??

i am running in ahci modei enabled in bios my chipset is pm965 it supports sata 2 so why am i not seeing any gain?

do i need to update any firmware?

With SSD, win7 installation should be 10+ min.
Please check your ssd firmware, latest is 1.11 ver.

What AHCI driver did you use? Some is crappy.

Same case applies to me. My HTPC failed 3 times in a year bcoz of crappy hdds from Seagate.
I just need peace of mind.

OCZ Launches RevoDrive X2 PCI-Express SSD Drive

what purpose to do this ?

To optimised the performance I guess .. I'm new to SSD (haven't got mine either). A bit of googling will reveal this actually..

Gee.. looking at Garage Sales, you're selling SSD too.. hmm.. you're confusing me now..
