Yea, I upgraded from the x25-v 40gb and wow, what a boost. I'm tired of not being able to install programs on the SSD.

Was contemplating keep this one and running in Raid 0 but I doubt I'll be able to see any difference in real time applications. I just mostly play games on it.

I have 2 X25-M G2 in a RAID 0, a Vertex 2, and a Vertex 3 in various machines around the house.  I can't go back to using a regular hard drive, but it becomes enough for human (or at least mine) perception at some point.  The 2 seconds to milliseconds was noticeable, the difference between 3 and 10 milliseconds, not so much.  

I do like the SandForce controllers a lot, it's just so hard to judge the performance you'll get with the different drives because of variations in compressible/uncompressible data, etc.  GLWS!  Somebody should move on this pretty quick I think.

not at the moment. the only thing i'm looking for in relation to mech keyboard is the 104 piece PBT rainbow (dye'd) key cap set, as seen in this pic.

it's from this group buy:

i believe $360 is a fair price shipped. I've checked eBay and they're going for $400+.

the thing with sandforce controller's are that they are a hit or miss with Windows. A lot of problems with the BSOD and I just wasn't going to take that risk.
