Got an enterprise Solidata X7 SLC 60GB in my notebook and it indeed is a very nice drivei Solidata FTW. Not getting the speeds I was hoping to get out of my notebook SATA controller though, so I’ll just put it on [H] BST for for some [S]oft dude (LOL…) looking for such drive.

This one is a bit absurd though. I mean, why bother? Considering the price and how slow this drive is for what it is, I’d much rather get quad Edge Boost Pro 512’s and RAID them.

I was hoping it would be a lot faster than sata2 speeds but in everyday tasks one woulkdnt see the difference anyway

Note the Enpirion PowerSoCs providing the power conversion on this monster (upper right corner)!

In reply to Zzyzx. Mainly to keep the power consumption down with those 4 disk controllers. It's basically 4x 512GB Sandforce drives in one case. You would be looking at over 4W at idle and over 10W active if they used the fastest chipset. I am sure the limiting factor is also the chip they are using to raid the 4 drives into 1 logical one. I am sure it can't handle 2000MB/s (which would be 4x SATA3 drives)
