    interesting. i dont mind the added cost being around $320 for a crucial m4for a 256gb drive. I have about 8 terabytes of storage and backup to work with. Nothing is raided. Im more concerned with wear workign on files from my desktop. Usually anything i work on i work off of the desktop than backup to regular hardrives. I think my samsungs non raided get about 130mb. 250mb on the marvell controller seems what i can pull off for write speeds. But i just dont know how fast the wear is. If its 2-3 years no problems and i can double the write speeds, im ok with that for cost. I just dont want to throw down 320 for a drive if it wears super fast or has problems. Win7 trim support and all that.

    Also as far as caching i can take my 64gb crucial 300 and add that for a cache. Im like a semi nerd on this stuff. So im still trying to figure out the best way to redo my shit. Not totally sure how to set cache drives but read some on it.

    If i can afford it does it warrant a 256gb as main drive for 2-3 year use @ around 250mb writes? So hard to sort out the ssd setups and difference in opinions....
