Been meaning to put these puppies into a short stroked RAID-0 array to see what they deliver.
I'm sure they would put my 1st gen SSD to shame, as one of these could almost do the job.

Feel free to PM me your offers if interested.

I ran a set on a Asus Deluxe OC Palm that has onboard SAS. Wasn't too bad, if I remember I got about 160mbps read with them. The controller wasn't all that great though and was only 3gbps

I would've been interested if they were 2.5" SAS, would go nicely in my 1950 Dell.
