... is a big one, and while were unashamedly excited by the technology and the benefits it might offer (especially as Windows 7 is being optimised to better take advantage of SSDs), we cant help but advise caution. Looking at past emergences of new technologies early adopters rarely get the best deal (or even a fair one, eh, HD DVD owners?) and while the Titan is both an excellent performer and fairly spacious, it wont be very long before another SSD arrives to stake its claim.

... and fairly spacious, it wont be very long before another SSD arrives to stake its claim. For now though, this is a wonderful bit of kit, finally combining speed in every area with a capacity that doesnt neuter the usefulness of the drive. The Titan would be just as at home in a high-end gaming machine (with the appropriate drive adapter) as it would an ultra-portable notebook, high performance laptop or HTPC, and for those willing to pay the premium, it earns a recommendation. http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/sto...b-ssd-review/1

The Mother Board —
Weve said before in the past that the rise of the SSD as a replacement to the conventional mechanical drive is inevitable, but still some way off. Affordable SSDs might have the performance in the read stakes, but their poor JMicron drive controllers have so far proved disappointing when you look at write performance, and while Intels X25 series of SSDs are able to produce excellent read and write speeds their price is extremely prohibitive.

... for the time being, those looking for the speed boost that an SSD can bring to the general use of your PC now have a lot more options. The new generation of SSDs based on Samsung MLC NAND flash memory and using dual drive controller chips, such as the G.Skill Titan 256GB drive we looked at a few weeks ago, are really shaking things up. So far, we've been impressed by these drives, as they offer excellent read, write and copy speeds while finally packing in reasonable amounts of storage – ...

... built for! The next wave of SSDs from third party manufacturers saw a refresh of the JMF 602 drive controller, this time using two of the chips to create a kind of RAID-0 setup within the drive. While this switch massively boosted write speeds and improved the random write latency issues found in the first generation of JMicron based drives, random write performance was still well off that of conventional hard disk drives. If a chain is only as strong as its weakest link then the G.Skill Titan and ...
