krom Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Newegg has this Crucial drive to go on sale as a Shell Shocker today from 10:00-12:59P PST. Anyone have any thoughts on this deal? Good, bad, meh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcdoc Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 I have this drive and the its big brother. Decent read and bad writes. They are great choices for HTPC's. They work a bit better with Sata 3. I have been running mine for several months with no issues. I have recommended these for people who are looking at SSD's for an HTPC. For a general purpose system, I would go for a Vertex 2 as the writes are better at the cost of a bit of read performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krom Posted October 14, 2011 Author Share Posted October 14, 2011 Thanks for the input. I think I'll get one for my HTPC as you suggest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vinylfreak Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 I put two of these in a Raid 0 array in my HTPC 6months ago. I would have bought two more , but they were sold out! I attached speed test results for the Raid ) BTW I could care less about the Write performance on my HTPC , for my OS drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
