Picked up a 150 GB model a few days ago.
Here is a single drive benchmark and it is pretty close to raid speeds.
Check out the CPU utilization.

Carpo: actually anything above 150 MB/s could basically be considered SATA 2.... since SATA 2's maximum bandwidth is 3Gb/s = 300MB/s

SSD is still too expensive although I have seem them in action when I was at Microsoft.

i thought about getting one.... since like 32GB versions are getting kinda cheap-ish now (i say cheap-ish because you can't really say 32GB SSD for the price of 1TB HDD is "cheap").

Mb == Megabits
MB == Megabytes

Please, 800 Mb/sec is just 100 MB/sec. Read the article again, it specifically states 800 MB/sec. Now, that is more impressive.

I am not entirely sure what I would need such fast speeds for, at that speed the bottleneck becomes other parts of the system.

Wow, that's fast. But will it be THAT noticeable? I mean, will Windows actually be able to make use of its speed?
