My (very limited) experience has been that sonotubes tend to be designed more for HT, with going low and loud more of a priority than quickness (which is what I think of as a "musical" sub)
Intel themselves stated that they would drop their pricing on the current drives when their newer capacities came out. But I recently purchase my M1330 Dell, and the X25-M seems like a good fit for it aside from the slightly painful storage space.
The tech will definitely only get better, although I wish they could simply make the SLC tech cheaper and easier to produce. That's just a dream though
A six pack of solid-state drives compared - The Tech Report - Page 1 Although it's mostly a MLC review, they also include the X25-E results for comparison.
The X25-E 32gb is tempting in a raw-speed sort of way, but I don't think I could handle the size limitation as my current OS partition is using up 25.8gigs, so that X25-M looks tempting.
That's very tempting, but the California tax is killer! Guess I might just ship it to my apo address and stick out for the wait. Thanks for posting that
