Bottom line- is this worth it? Or should i just put together a whole new PC? Will i get more performance out of this- or out of a new 800-1000 PC?
SSD drives are a waste right now imo. As Niode said you can ger comparable speeds with high RPM. Also it's new tech, so it ain't going to be good enough yet, so let others do the Beta testing on them, and you can buy one 1-3 years from now, when they become cheaper.
my problem is that i don't have 2 open slots to raid.
