SSD ready for mainstream?

Surely raided SSD's will have a less of a speed gain than raided harddisks...or am I wrong?
 
Got a 8GB in my ASUS and love it. Just came back from holiday and it made a difference. Did not have to worry about bumping while the lappie was on. But I do not believe its affordable (and to some degree) ready for desktops.

But, for a laptop, I cannot see why anybody will not have one in theirs within the next few months.
 
The pricing is insane for "mainstream" use.
Even for servers, the storage capacity is too small.
It'll get there (eventually) but it's definitely not mainstream now and how anyone can think it is is beyond me.
 
Definitely not ready yet for the mainstream market. I suggest waiting till the financial crisis hits the makers really hard and some of them close down and hopefully the prices will fall as demand slumps even more and the remaining makers will want to stay competitive.
In the current cash strapped economy users shouldn't settle for such high, inflated prices
and makers like Samsung need to be cut down to size, they grew too big in the fat years.
 
Something is seriously wrong with your setup. My vista hdd score on my laptop 7200rpm drive is 5.2. It's exactly the same in win 7. Maybe check that all your chipset drivers are installed, and that sata is not running in ide compatibility mode?

Agree, 2.9 sounds very wrong. I have a pretty standard desktop drive and it scores 5.9 on Win-7.
