    Intel soon to release the new 700 series SSD

    Intel has two new SSD's they are launching, the 710 and the 720, the 710 will be Sata II speeds and not the best performer, but will cost less then other ssd's in the same class, and will likely be reliable enough for enterprise use, the 720 will be intel's first offering of a PCIe SSD, and the stats look amazing:

    Wow..pretty impressive stats.

    I wonder how much the 720 will go for at release. O_O

    Up to 2200/1800 MBs sust. Read/Write

    They're enterprise drives, not consumer. The 720 is SLC based, not MLC like consumer devices. Awesome yes; but the price is through the roof.

    Ask Synthaxx, he might be able to make that gift! ;P

    But daaaaamn, and why don't they list SATA 6Gb/s for these drives? O.o Namely the 710.

    I'm waiting for the next generation yet in my monstruous build, I think. Not next s-ATA standard (because I can't see the benefit of Seq's that require s-ATA 6.0Gbps. Seq's are fine in s-ATA 3.0Gbps for me, I'm after higher randoms), but next iteration of firmware and/or hardware.

    Interface PCIe? That's odd..

    Its quite common for high speed storage arrays. Specifically the 720 requires an 8x PCI-E 2.0 connection.

    That is a serious jump in wattage.
    I hope that can be lowered in later versions.
    I thought we were heading for greener PC's. - Guess not.

    The standby power consumption alone has increased to 80 times the previous models. Or by 7900 percent!

    Uh. The difference is also that all the others are serial ATA, and the 720 is a PCI-E, which has been stated plenty of times already?
    A PCI-E slot is rated for 75w. Using a third of that is pretty green.

    One extreme example of a hard drive does not indicate the direction of the industry.

    Yeah these SSDs don't really have a whole lot to offer consumers. I'm waiting for Cherryville (520)
    i7 930 @ 4.0Ghz | Sapphire HD5970 w/ Accelero Xtreme | ASUS P6X58D Premium | 32GB Kingston DDR3-1600
    Xonar Essence STX | 128GB Vertex 4 | AX750 | Xigmatek Elysium
    Laing D5 | XSPC RX 360mm | Koolance RP-452X2 | EK-Supreme HF
    Dell 3007WFP-HC | Samsung BX2350 | Das Keyboard Model S Ultimate | Razer Naga Molten | Sennheiser HD650

    The 320 series seem to have lower endurance. I didn't know that.
    The 720 is ridiculous though. That thing is going to last practically forever.

    I've been reading about new SSDs hitting the market almost every week for the past month.

    Samsung just announced a model and Kingston is coming out with their next-gen SSDs as well. Hopefully this competition will mean we'll see lower prices by the end of the year.

    and 250GB SSD's <$100 in 2 years! so I can have one for my next build xD

    Heh. I knew Samsung made SSDs, but Kingston?

    EDIT: But seeing as Samsung RAM are more reliable than Kingston, I'd go Samsung rather.
