| Applications need to process data; and if that data is not on the ACARD you'll end up with a slower system compared to a single SSD with more storage space where data & apps on the fast storage

I understand, in general, what you are saying by processing big data on Vertex solid state drive. Yet I suspect the specifics might go either way. It depends. Case by case. Meaning "working time of winrar" might be put on the fast RAM disk ANS-9010 or might be put on the slower Platter disk. That's one reason for 12Gb. 8 Gb for O/S + Apps (might only need 6 not 8 Gb) 4 Gb for small and mid-size data "processed" by ANS-9010 Like "working time of winrar" Namaste --- |

Canadian dollars newegg.ca: SSD for O/S, Apps, Data $726.55 RAID 0 Intel X25-M 080+080=160Gb with taxes and shipping versus DSSD (Dynamaic SSD) ACARD ANS-9010 for O/S, Apps $581.85 RAID 0 ANS-9010 12 Gb with taxes and shipping and Platter drive (low cost, high capacity) for Data. $100.00 for 1 Terabyte Platter drive for Data For about the same price of some $700 in RAID 0: SSD has a 160 Gb cap (O/S, Apps, Data) versus DSSD 9010 using 12 Gb (O/S, Apps) and a 1000 Gb cap (Data). --- FYI ANS-9010 performance test reports at www 2san com I suspect a SSD will fall somewhere in-between a WDHDD and DSSD ACARD ANS-9010. This PDF report suggests the 9010 is scalable. (2 units giving 4 SATA cables going to motherboard) Test Result_HD Tune 3.10 - File Benchmark, Read, 8192: 077 MB/sec WDHDDx1 175 MB/sec 9010 x1 port 155 MB/sec WDHDDx2-RAID0 355 MB/sec 9010 x2 port-RAID0 520 MB/sec 9010 x3 port-RAID0 645 MB/sec 9010 x4 port-RAID0 Cheers! -- |

| a single SSD is sufficient also FYI €450

| As jmke says, the general use of your PC wil profit much more from a single SSD then a Acard at the end of the day Acard + HDD = OS and Apps boot fast, data processing from, to and on the HDD is as slow as usual ... (assuming there is no space on the Acard left) SSD + HDD = OS and Apps boot fast, data processing on SSD goes amazingly fast. The HDD serves only as storage. I got myself a 60Gb Vertex 2nd hand for 150€ and can't imagine a Acard being faster for my daily use ... if i wanted to crush a PCMark score, THEN the Acard comes in handy |

| > a single SSD is sufficient also FYI > €450 1.00 EUR = 1.58075 CAD €450 EUR = $711.33 CAD Does this mean €450 EUR for a Intel X25-M ? Which Gb size? -- |

| you can't just use google converter for prices; they are regional 160Gb X25-M G2 €425 http://tones.be/shop_product.php?idx=107240 €570 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...-017-_-Product blame it on the strong €

| > 160Gb X25-M G2 How come M versus E? What's advantage of M versus E? Meaning: Intel X25-M G2 versus Intel X25-E (Extreme SATA Solid-State Drive) Namaste! -- |

| The Extreme series uses SLC vs MLC on the X25-M series. Quote:
* SLC offers better performance AND longer life time but is much more expensive * MLC offers better price/performance ratio, but shorter life expectancy

| X25-M is much better optimized for desktop/workstation use... X25-E is faster on paper but X25-M still beats it in some tests, especially so with the newer G2 X25-M's. |
