I am just pulling out of the parking lot at frys.

Expect an unboxing video soon.

Frys is an amazing store, I sometimes go there just to walk around and see the new stuff coming out. Also cants wait to see the vid. =)
 
There are times when Fry's is great and times when it's nearly as bad as Worst Buy. Then again...it's better to have a Fry's than be stuck w/ just a Best Buy in town; but even then you still have Newegg. :D
 
Usually I don't buy stuff from frys, but I had a gift card, and the price was $20 less than newegg
 
Intel x25-v. Not the latest and greatest, but the random reads are good, which is what counts since it will be a pretty much just a boot drive.
 
Can you post up some before and after benches? :D

I'm pokin' around trying to find one that suits my needs after the other thread we were in discussing SSD technology.
 
You would probably see more of an improvment getting a new processor.

As far as your actual question goes, 60x2 would be much faster, but over time they would get slower because trim isn't supported in raid. Me personally, I would get 1 larger drive.
 
Oh yeah. I love my 80 gig Intel G2 . Alot. Everyone complains of long loading screens in Fallout which i remember from Fallout 3... In New Vegas, i barely have time to read the tips on top. You can usually get the 40 gig for $99 which is pretty awesome. You will find it much appreciated. The G3 is coming soon with some improvement, i still dig mine to death.

Anybody else interested, one of the better deals would have to be the Crucial C300. Amazing Reads and writes @ about 350 and 250/sec. 128gb runs about $269. Paid $249 for my 80 Intel. Still the only brand i could trust.

These guys are coming out and have 4 Sandforce Controllers- take a look . This is whats next, a real bootable pci SSD.

I only paid 70$ minus $30 in giftcards, so really 40 (+7 tax) out of pocket
 
Me getting beat down? At least I don't have to rely on mommy giving me a ride. :P
Spoiled? You're not soar! :lol:
