Well I see on the main page Intel is shipping these things. Any word on p[erformance? Still dismal write performance? I'm waiting to replace my VR300 RAID0 array with something faster...
 
What sets these new Intel enterprise SSD's apart from the Intel mainstream drives like Kyle tested recently?

I ask cause I don't have a clue what they did different but at the same time I am not expecting to see much performance difference between the two.
 
X-25M 80GB = 70MB/s write
X-25E 32GB = 170MB/s write

No issues with random reads on SLC Enterprise. As well, the MLC 'M' consumer drives don't have the random read issue of the OCZ in my experience anyway.

what about the random reads where OCZ fails with like 250ms...

You must be thinking of the random writes! Anyway, as far as I could understand Intel has implemented some kind of random write optimizing algorythm which enables the drive to treat random writes more like sequential writes. Don't ask me exactly how it works, because I simply can't remember, but this was the essence of it.

Basically Intel did the right thing, instead of blaming poor write performance on the OS (often Vista) not being optimized for SSD's, they actually made their own workaround which is OS independant. Brilliant!

+bigger cache. OCZ only have 16K.
 
I just wanna know where I can buy 'em and how much they are....

Where the benchies at already!?
 
The X25M80GB consumer drive is $595 in qty of 1000. The X25E32GB is $695 in qty of 1000.
 
A little expensive compared to the fusion io which is under 1k
 
Good golly those prices need to come down. VR's are pennies incomparison...... Oh well...wait another year or so I guess...
