Hardware G.Skill Falcon 2 128GB SSD Review

£260 , £2 per 1GB, in 2-3 years i'll get a SSD

 

Hi,

I am thinking about buying one 40GB Intel SSD as a primary drive for the OS. (W7-64bit).

And I was thinking about buying a second one later and to have them in Raid 0 to boost up the speed.

I got a bit confused, to read from one user, that this solution might be slower than a stand alone drive?

Can you confirm?

 

I'm confuse with so many SSDs out there.

What should I get sub-US$ 500 bucks?

I'm thinking on Intel X25-M 160GB Gen2 ($380~$399).

 

As you can tell from the benches, that's probably the best buy.

 

FYI microdirect are no longer stocking these. g.skill need to look at their manufacturing output tbh.

 

Not regretting buying my SSD at all. I bought mine in October for £167, and Intel drives are still the best value for money.
