You know what, I think after SF1222, I just don't care anymore... The speed is enough. I just need more capacity at this point. I love my SSDs! Made computing fun again...

I'll have to get one. I remember when hard drives made computing fun again, and it's about time to repeat the experience.

Affordable capacity of course. I have a plextor ssd it rates at 480 read and its so fast things install at a blink. but its only 128gig because they are freaking expensive. I honestly need at minimum 256 for my "windows program" drive 512 would be nice for buffer room. but thats $1000 i don't have for just a hard drive :/ A small hard drive at that.

I just bought a 240gb vertex 3 last week. If I knew they were going to do this, I would've waited! ugh.

difference it makes to the average consumer: Negligable

I would so buy this right now if the movers didn't steal my Windows 7... Been holding off on upgrades until the next OS because of it.

Is there any reason 75,000 IOPS are required for home use or gaming? Is there some sort of software or game that requires 75,000 IOPS? I have not read about any, at least not for personal use or gaming.

I knew OCZ would be #1 2 years ago in the SDD market and specially now after buying SandForce's controller, can't wait to buy one when there $100 for a 1TB.

For those of us who run relational databases for analytics, 4k random read IOPS performance is very important as databases are heavily IO bound.
