I think the C400 isn't a compelling enough upgrade for existing C300 owners. I was set to sell my 4 x C300 64GB's but then I saw the C400 benches and took the auction down The C400 isn't the quantum leap forward everyone had imagined, relative to the C300 anyway - because the C300 had already raised the bar higher than all the other Gen2 drives at least in read performance. Everyone else has had to play catch up for their gen3 offerings which is why they now seem like they've got "so much more performance" - its true mostly just relative to their previous gen.
Two 64GB C300's in Intel RAID0/SATA600 on my X9SCM/C204 smokes, TRIM seems to be enabled, and this Win2K8R2 server running 8 x HyperV VM's is pretty much "totally instant" in any disk operations.
