    Just installed an 80 G version of the X25-M (G2). Seems nice an snappy. Here are a few benchmarks on my machine. Anyone else have this SSD and care to post?

    Code:
    # hdparm -Tt /dev/sdb
    /dev/sdb:
     Timing cached reads:   15644 MB in  1.99 seconds = 7845.48 MB/sec
     Timing buffered disk reads:  788 MB in  3.00 seconds = 262.52 MB/sec
    Here is the read-only benchmark from "Disk Utility 2.30.1" which is installed under Applications>System Tools>Disk Utility

    I was so close to getting this drive. But I'm waiting for the G3. I doubt anyone else is using this drive here.

    I too thought about waiting for the G3 version to come out but I have no plans to upgrade my MB to a SATA3 comp. board now (it's a P45 board), so I figured, **** it :)

    haha..I thought the same...but I would want them to fix some of the issues with G2, especially the slow sequential write speed.

    I have the G2, but well, you already saw the results I posted. Not using Linux though. :(
