Brand new review:

Real World performance on page 3 of the review is pretty much what I've been saying for several months.

Based upon @Badelhas stated use -- IMO a waste of $ for 1~3 seconds gaming loading.

Being silly:
Now if $Money$ is no object then RAID 10 onboard <or> get a LSI RAID Card with RAID 6 or other nested RAID with the mechanical HDDs for the 'uncompressible' data (Fastest), and RAID 0 onboard <or> get a LSI RAID Card for large RAID 0 of the SSD's -- e.g. $664 LSI MegaRAID 9265-8i http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816118160 maybe add the HW FastPath <or> PCIe based SSD.

Thanks for the input, guys! I will probably wait some time before I upgrade...

If you want some crazy speeds, try SuperCache 5 or FancyCache. Once the Trial runs out some cleaning mighr be necessary or IMO buy/use SuperCache 5 of 79.95.

What is that superchache thing?

 

[jaquith]

SuperCache 5 and FancyCache use RAM as a HDD/SSD Cache or like a RAM Drive for Cached data. Most RAM Drives can R/W ~6000 MB/s. RAM Disk can be used so upon booting the data can be rewritten to the RAM.

In short it's ridiculously fast R/W speeds and limited to the RAM devoted to its' use.
