Expecting to get my Intel 530 120GB next week. But I wanna ask regarding hard disk enclosures for my replaced laptop hard disk. How much should I expect them to cost and are there stuff I should look out for before buying one?

did you manage to find out the pricing for 512GB?

tbh the price of sub 700 is very attractive. i have read about this transcend drive from review sites. from reviews it is indeed a very affordable ssd, with damn good values. the one graph at thessdreview.com is particularly surprising imo.

it is impressive. notice that the top two use the same Silicon Motion SM2246EN controller. several other drives, like Corsair Force LX and PNY Optima are using the same controller.

maybe later you can tell us how it fares?

edit: noise? what noise?

Any SAS SSD out there with reasonable price? Looking to find a SSD for a company's server but the SSD price is one hell of a joke, yes it has good endurance (200GB @ 3.86PB) but it just don't justify the high price, I could buy a high-end PC with that price alone.

Is Enterprise SSD came out just so to earn more from "Enterprise"?

Erm, If that server uses SATA then I won't be headache right now, but it's SAS...  A darn evil that created to sucks money out of Enterprise market.

yup, i think i have an external casing lying somewhere and this ssd would do fit nicely. how about the Kingston HyperX 3k ssd? read some reviews that it is very good too, although with the standard 3 years warranty.

same as vertex2 34nm to 25nm, my unit is the older 34nm. from here; http://techreport.com/review/27436/the-ssd...aking-petabytes seems that hyperX 3K doing good, one has reaced 2PB writes same as samsung.

that trancend how much bro? 3 years warranty?

kinda tight on budget so only able to buy ssd's under rm400 

oh ok. yeah most probably you will upgrade in two years hehe

samsung 850 evo is coming, with new tlc nand and 5-year warranty. a tlc that can do 2k p/e (samsung said). inside one of articles they also mentioned the p/e cycles of samsung 850 pro and 845dc pro to be 6k p/e and 40k p/e. it's no wonder the price is so steep!
