so tempted. Apparently newegg business has 15% off ssd plus the rebate. It comes out to 87ish after all said and done.... and creating new account is easy and just put 0 for the tax column.
 
Solid state drives make it like the late 90's all over again!

Holy crap, you have a 16gb hard drive!?!?!?!?!

Yeah I saw that... might jump on another V+100 and shove it into the PS3 since PS3 doesn't do TRIM, then run the 64GB V100 in the HTPC. So tempted. Or get 2 more and make a 1GB/s RAID-0 setup in the main PC. :D

Eh, I'll have about 180GB of usable SSD space on the main machine- which is plenty after turning off hibernation and the swap file. I'm still considering whether or not to keep my 2x640GB platter RAID for video processing scratch space, so I'll still have some spinning storage making noise- but a new case with more Dynamat in it will take care of that.

In any case, once a package from Newegg shows up tomorrow my home server will have 7TB in it- enough to last at least a little while. ;)
 
I need a TB worth of SSD for part of my sample library.

4 Pianos worth of samples takes up 250GB of space, my string samples take up 500GB =(
 
my array is 240GB. plenty for everything i have
 
my ssd has wow and windows 7 on it. fuck everything else. NO LOADING SCREENS!
 
Yeah- LOVE the speed so far. Still not done setting up the system, but damn it feels good. Going to try and set the games to run inside RAMdrives too since I have 16GB to swim in now. :D
 
Do you need access speeds/times that fast for your samples?

I'd like it. If I load up one of the nicer samples I have, it can take 45-60 seconds to load.

I just bought a faster 1tb drive hopefully it will move slightly faster. If I knock off 10 seconds I'll be happy.
 
I know when 1TB drives first came out they were all 5400 RPM and the 7200 RPM was a 50 dollar price jump. If you're doing that upgrade it makes a world of difference.
 
Samsung Spinpoint F3 (HD103SJ) : Three New Desktop Hard Drives For 2010

1TB, 7200rpm and 32MB cache.
Seemed to get better views then the WD drives I was looking at with 64MB caches.

Plus it's cheap.

I just picked up one last week. Loving it. As far as HDD goes, its these or the Western Digital Blacks if youre looking for speed. However, the F3s have better thermals and a few bucks cheaper to boot. Just some FYI though, people are snapping these up since Seagate just bought Samsung's HDD divison.

Anyway, im just waiting to jump the boot to SSD. Everyone is loving them, but I cant justify spending anything on computers for the moment..
 
meeh, you can do that yourself and save with RAID-0 two sandforce yourself...

btw, the deal is back on amazon for those are still trying to get some of those kingston drives..

i feel finicky about Kingston now. I bought a 16GB micro SD card and its f**ked already with less than 3 months of use. I think manufactures should always pay for shipping both ways in the first year if the device fails.
 
Buy 3 of them- that'll be under $300 on the current deal.
