320 120Gb OOS in SLS, anyone knows which shops is still selling?

So fast OOS liao???last friday go buy still got alot left.

 

[ahbard]

My Intel SSD can last more than 11 years so 5 years is nothing. Must switch on TRIM and make sure system supports TRIM.

So long ar....My ssdlife show my 320 can last 8 years 7mths nia....but is good enuf for me liao..8 years later maybe running on sata5 liao haha.

 

[ahbard]

Is it worth to buy an Intel 320 40GB for cache & temp folders?

40gb is too small and spec wise is not good too.....take at least 80gb.

[temasekcity]

how do you know that for sure?

There are 2 programs to check.

 

[temasekcity]

It is in accordance to Intel spec.

 

[wacko]

It is in accordance to Intel spec.

it's an estimated number, just like MTBF numbers.

Nice! Is this going heads up against vertex 3

tradepac 308...but then..i rather pay a few bucks more buy from shops i trusted..LOL..

 

[evq]

can anyone verify whether is there stock for Intel 320 series 120GB ssd at sls?

thanks in advance

Hi, I'm thinking of getting the Intel 320 120GB as well... The benchmarks for the 300GB version looks quite promising, a bit slower than the Vertex 3. But its true that higher capacity drives are faster due to have more transfer channels right? So a smaller drive is slower? Anyone knows how the 120GB compares to the 300GB?

OCZ Agility 3 240GB Reviews

OCZ has been at the forefront of each generation of SandForce SSD release since the debut of the SF-1500 based Vertex Limited Edition. More recently the Vertex 3 was the first client SSD to use SandForce's SF-2281 controller. Many of you have written me asking if the Vertex 3 is worth the additional cost over the Vertex 2. Given that you can pick up a 120GB Vertex 2 for $210 ($180 after rebate), and a 120GB Vertex 3 will set you back $300 flat it's tough to recommend the latter despite the performance improvements. If you don't have a 6Gbps platform (e.g. Intel 6-series, AMD 8-series) the Vertex 2 vs. Vertex 3 decision is a little easier to make, otherwise the newer, faster Vertex 3 is quite tempting.

There's another issue holding users back from the Vertex 3: capacity. The Vertex 3 is available in 120, 240 and 480GB versions, there is no 60GB model. If you're on a budget or like to plan frequent but rational upgrades, the Vertex 3 can be a tough sell.

Enter the Agility 3, OCZ's mainstream SF-2281 drive.
