Same (well, mine's a Corsair Force 80g, but same idea). The real-world performance difference between these "high-performance" SSDs and previous SATA2 models is negligible for the majority of users. What the SSD markets needs is lower prices (and fewer glitches) to encourage adoption, not faster-and-faster drives that cost even more.I still have my rock solid intel 80g x25m that I refuse to "upgrade" until they get it together.
