Could be small bulk qty brought in by local distros.
Due to low demand by consumer.
Not all consumers know what is SSD, coz it's not cheap nobody willing to buy & try it.
HDD prices also becomes cheaper & cheaper with bigger capacity nowadays. Only price drop will attract buyers this SSD, until usb3 rilly becomes mainstream then only buyers will buy older technology at cheaper price.

If you would be happy with an SSD performing just a little better than a HDD, then any decent SSD will do as they will all easily outperform the Velociraptor. Since RM/GB is a main concern, you should consider Kingston's V Series 128GB (product no: SNV425-S2/128GB). I bought one from Viewnet in cash for RM780, otherwise it was supposed to be RM799 then.

For reference, here's a simple price analysis, but it is two months old and didn't list Viewnet.

Thanks both of you .. and thanks everling for the price analysis, very helpful indeed. One last thing, do I need to worry about that TRIM thingy if I set the SSD as the only storage for my carpc? Ronaldjoe has the 64GB for RM360 and it seems so tempting .. is there any differences between the 64GB and 128GB other than the capacity? the link given by everling seems to suggest that they're on different controller (or probably enhanced one?). Haha.. now me seems to be picky .. but if the Kingston V 64GB should be fine, I'll go for it..

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

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

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....

Have a question here. Between the Corsair Force SSD and Intel X25 gen-2 SSD, which is more value for money? Planning to get a ssd to boost my pc's performance, please give some advice. Tq.

Corsair is faster, but still buggy.
Intel X25-Ms work perfectly & still kicking in my rig. laugh.gif

well.. intel gives 3 years warranty for its SSD,  so technically it should be able to last at least 3 years to 5 years

3 years of usage perhaps. well the lifespan is too subjective IMO.
some ppl get it damaged in merely 5 years, some in less than 3 years. Like other parts nia..
no one can really expect when he's going to die or live

SATA2 SSD wont get the full capability of the SATA3 port; and wont have full capability of a SATA3 SSD if the port is SATA2

u wont need to worry for any goods made by Intel, as they're the best in quality.
and as for SSD Intel controller is still the best in drivers.

fuh, that's a relief to read ur explanation bro, thanx for the info bro!! i just placed an order for the OCZ Vertex2 240GB at rm1380, glad to know with normal usage it'll at least last more than 3 years.

oh by the way, u mentioned ''548GB/day for 200GB SSDs''<<---- if i installed my SSD on my laptop alredy, then i play games like modern warfare2 and call of duty:black ops, will these games write up to 548GB/day on my SSD??

Why they didnt announce this issue to public, resellers retailers n buyers? Those who bought it after January should worry.

Suggest to RMA it, not only the capacity is shrunk, the write speed.
