OCZ Vertex SSDs- Initial Results

So then you'd have four?
Damn.

Still can't figure out what's killing my burst speed (which is about 1/2 of Snee's).
I hate this.

Cables? I think I have some left over SATAIII cables left over if you want em. I have to look and see how many I have I think there were 2 for me with 2 left over. I had ordered the straight versions but I needed the 90 degree to work in the 800D case.

Cables?
I doubt it.

There wasn't any spec change for cables- or ports, for that matter- between SATA 1 and 2.

I'm sure my Chinese lead and dog fur SATA cables are just fine.

I had read recently that cables can go bad and these cables are SATA3 I thought it would help. Also I thought your cables were chain mail?

[clocker]

I can't see it being cables because I used the same ones on a three disk array (250GB Seagate mechanicals) and the burst was fine.
I think it's a setting I'm missing/doing wrong.

However, if I can find some new "SATA III Certified" cables in short enough lengths, I may get them just to clean up the wiring mess.

"Wiring mess" another compelling argument against case windows...

I enjoy neatening cables and I think it's linked to the side window thing.

The cables are SATA 3.0 Round Cable - 18" If you're interested their yours dude.

[clocker]

Thanks, but no.
Those are much longer than what I have already.
Was just looking at a site that has cables in 5" and 9" lengths, which should do nicely.
They aren't tricky round ones like yours though...that's a nice touch.

[Detale]

They are really nice, I have to say. They should all be round. Especially when they are sleeved, not that they even need it. In my case I had to make them match though

Big pimpin.

After promoting that holder there i think I'm actually goint to go the velcro route. I'll be installling tomorrow. Any install tips? Do I format the drive or no. things like that.
