    More price drop for old gen SSD? Why not.

    I don't think my hand and brain can catch up with faster SSD though.

    I'm more afraid of OCZ managing to screw something up though. :p It'll be a wait and see approach as usual.

    LOL yeah, watching them with cation :p

    But I`m very excited. Maybe Marvell will push out their newest controller too. Its been too long with the SSDs controllers we have now imo. The SSDs out are just a copy of what we already had for quite some time now. Time to bring out the new guns :D

    OCZ SSDs are faster than ever! BSOD every 5 seconds instead of every hour! :p

    Anyway...as with all new SSD products. Avoid them for a few months while others examine the product and find the (almost inevitable) bugs in the initial firmware versions. If you must go with OCZ (which I highly discourage) go with a slightly older product with a more mature firmware platform so you at least know what you are getting in to.
