Release dates for C400, Vertex 3, G3

matt_griff · 23 Feb 2011 at 17:32

Hi, am I right in thinking that the next gen SSD's to be released are

Crucial C400
Vertex 3
Intel G3

Is there a rough release date for these yet?
And are there anymore SSD's to consider?

thunderflash · 23 Feb 2011 at 17:38

Crucial c400 early next month according to Crucial forum mods, wether thats UK or not I'm not sure.

I'm holding out for one of these, although i know very little about them, any major differences between them?

Edit,

At the moment I'm looking to get the vertex 3 120Gb as this will be plenty for what I want it for.

Waiting for this crop of SSD's to hit the market before I do a Sandybridge build.

Hi there

OcUK will be first on Vertex3 and we've secured the most stock, ETA 3-4 weeks, pre-order available.

Intel Elmcrest, I have in stock now, but can't launch/sell yet, waiting on Intel.

Crucial 400, about 2-3 weeks.

HEADRAT · 25 Feb 2011 at 10:16

Hopefully the ATI 6990 will become available around the same time

jimbonkers · 25 Feb 2011 at 10:27

Next week.

google "vertex 3" top news.

120GB Intel ElmCrest 2.5" SSD, MLC-Flash, 450MB/s Read and 210MB/s Write speed

Up to 450MB/s Read; 315MB/s Write (128K Seq, 8GB span, QD=32)
Up to 20,000 4K Rand Read; 5,000 4K Rand Write (8GB span, QD=32)

(Write speed probably higher on higher capacity drives)

Out on Tuesday, possibly.

Somewhat slower than the Vertex 3 listed for pre-order.

Intel tend to go for reliability over outright speed, something which I would happily take the performance hit for (after all, the Intel drives are certainly no slouch).

hopefully reduce in price too

The Vertex 3 is unbelievable!

Completely puts the C400 and other upcoming SSDs to shame.

OCZ found an area to completely excel and pwn everyone else in it seems

Plenty of people already have SSDs, and they cant recommend them enough.
