    That's because the new Agility 2 and Vertex 2 SSDs just came out..and they completely decimate the previous gen.

    Agility:
    * Read: Up to 185 MB/s
    * Write: Up to 100 MB/s
    * Sustained Write: Up to 60 MB/S

    Agility 2:
    * Max Read: up to 285MB/s
    * Max Write: up to 275MB/s
    * Sustained Write: up to 250MB/s
    * Random Write 4KB (Aligned): 10,000 IOPS

    Vertex:
    * Read: Up to 230 MB/s
    * Write: Up to 135 MB/s
    * Sustained Write: Up to 80 MB/s

    Vertex 2:
    * Max Read: up to 285MB/s
    * Max Write: up to 275MB/s
    * Sustained Write: up to 250MB/s
    * Random Write 4KB (Aligned): 50,000 IOPS

    That's quite the instant savings! Damn.

    Too bad it's not a 2nd Generation, because I WANT that insane write speed and I think I could probably justify spending $50 more for 10GB less to have it. But... I'll probably wait until the 80GB or more is as cheap as the current 50GB is. 80GB is where I draw the line for 2010. lol

    What's the difference between the Agility and Vertex?
    People are stupid; given proper motivation, almost anyone will believe almost anything. Because people are stupid, they will believe a lie because they want to believe it's true, or because they are afraid it might be true. People’s heads are full of knowledge, facts, and beliefs, and most of it is false, yet they think it all true. People are stupid; they can only rarely tell the difference between a lie and the truth, and yet they are confident they can, and so are all the easier to fool.

    It looks like the Agility 2 uses a cheaper SandForce controller than the Vertex 2 (1200 vs 2000 iirc?). The result is a significant drop in random IO speeds (IOPS).

    EDIT:
    Whoops, looks like the Vertex 2 uses the 1200 as well...idk why the huge difference in IOPS then.

    Yea the Agility 2 series blows the previous out of the water. I have one on the way for testing.

    What are IOPS?

    IOPS stands for Input Output Operations Per Second.

    Which translated into layman terms means.... ? Like, does it mean a hard drive with higher IOPS is faster than one with lower IOPS or?

    yes. The more in and out per second the faster the drive.

    Yes, most noticeably with random operations such as running an OS, as opposed to sustained such as playing a video file.
