I sold off some SSDs to purchase a Crucial SSD but I am wondering what everyone's opinion is in regards to purchasing a C300 or wait for the C400?
I want to purchase the 128GB version of the Crucial drive.
Thx
I asked something similar a couple weeks ago, and the majority said to wait. The C400 will be faster and cost less. So I'm waiting for them to release it. They need to hurry, as my HD is the slowest component in my computer now.
The C400 will be faster and cost less.
The move to 25nm NAND gives us one major improvement: cost. The 512GB C400 will be priced at $825 in 1,000 unit quantities - that works out to be $1.611 per GB. The 256GB drive will go for $425, the 128GB at $210 and the 64GB somewhere above $100. As 25nm production ramps up I wouldnt be too surprised to see SSD prices drop down to the magical $1/GB price point.
Okay, but what are the 1000 unit prices for C300 now? Without knowing either that, or what the current retail markup is now, it is difficult to compare current prices (about $260 for a 128GB C300).
I would wait for the new Intel personally.

those with sf-1200 based ssd
are you gonna upgrade to intel g3 or sf-2000?
Look it up. You're apparently trying to justify purchasing a C300, and I'm not gonna debate it with you.
No, I was not trying to justify anything, just trying to find out. The 1000 unit prices or the retail markup is not something that I can look up, since that information is generally reserved for distributors and retailers.
Anyway, I doubt that the C400 will be much cheaper than the C300 when it comes out. I do agree that it will probably be faster, though.
Yes, that article was already pointed out. But we are still missing the equivalent 1000 unit prices for the C300 products.
Does anyone know when these new SSD's will come out? From the posted link the C400 should be out in Feb (anyone know if it's early, mid, or late Feb?) but what about the new Intel ones? Around the same time maybe? Is there anything else coming out soon? I have everything needed for my new build except for an SSD so I'm kind of getting a little antsy haha.
Yeah I was thinking about that. But that Raptor still has XP and files from my old rig on it. Is it possible to build the new rig and use the Raptor as my primary drive again and just use XP and everything else on the drive without a problem? Obviously I don't plan on keeping it for a while but I'm curious.
Corsair's equivalent to the C400 is out now:
Yeah.... About that....
Maybe when the price doesn't suck.

Perhaps another option worth consideration;
2 x 64GB C300 / RAID 0 = $200

If it matters to anyone -- the C300 64GB is currently a "Shell Shocker" at Newegg for $99. Link
you're Intel is only Sata II.
the Crucial models are Sata III. double the throughput.
