OCZ Vertex 3 240GB SSD Review

Thanks and on which motherboards does the new Marvell 88SE9182 controller appear?

The new Gigabyte G1.Killer range uses the new Marvell 88SE9182 controller. I am not sure how many other boards have picked it up just yet.

Um... I will probably use that much up really quickly. I often record gameplay with Fraps, and that gets to about 200 gigs or so an hour at 1080p. I will then compress the video and delete all of the old fraps files. Also, SSDs degrade as they get worn, so although it would still work, it would be a lot slower.

The idea would be to save the 200 gigs of you pulling off headshots in 1080p on a secondary hard drive. Also have you heard of TRIM, it makes your last statement inaccurate.

You mention a performance hit if used with SATA 2. Is the hit any worse than the factor of 2 in the interface speed? To ask another way, on a SATA 2 system, would the Vertex 3 drive perform as well as a Vertex 2?
