I was thinking of getting the 100 GB one, until I saw the price tag. Opted for 2 OCZ Vertex instead, but I will be keeping on eye on the RealSSD, for when price drops.
It's write performance is no better than Vertexes, but its read performance is, and its random 4k/random random is nearly twice as fast. That's an enormous stat.
I wonder, does Sata 6bps will work on Sata 2 motherboard ?
Also, What is the mb/s limit of sata II ?
Im asking cuz i know i wont change motherboard to have sata 3 support , and im wondering if this SSD drive still worth the price if im on a sata II board :P
@ GooD. Sata 3 (600) is backwards compatible with Sata 2 (300), of course you will only get 300mb/sec max.
There will be some cheapish pci-e cards soon with sata3.

It's not significantly better than the Vertexes, as you mentioned, but I'd still like to see some operational comparisons between them.
