Imo they should use a dram cache with the 2.5″ drives since pcb space isn’t an issue. Sure it’ll add a few bucks to the price but it’d be worth it. Looks like the pcb in the pic above already has a spot for a ram chip…maybe they’ll have a premium model that uses a ram cache.

I bought the last 256 GB Toshiba SSD from a brick and mortar store some time ago (I’m sure they are restocked by now). I have to say, I was incredibly impressed by it. I really wanted a Samsung 840 EVO but they were sold out and I needed a drive asap. So I stuck with the Toshiba. I was worried because Toshiba seemed new to the game, but so far my computer has performed flawlessly fast. Boot up into Windows is sub-10 seconds. Booting windows from sleep is faster than my monitor can wake up. It used to take about 10 to 15 seconds to get into Photoshop – now its about 2 seconds.

something tells me this new high-performance Toshiba SSD is really the planned OCZ Vector 150. Why haven’t they released controller specs yet? This drive is supposed to be released by the end of this month so I find it very strange they are hiding this info. I guess they will release the specs when they announce the buyout of OCZ or OCZs consumer division 🙂

In reply to Happeh. They sold out. I count 32 purchases through that link since posting.

The listed price for the 256 Gig is already going up.

Due to this article I bet.
