Hi everyone!

Thought I'd craft up some SSD-oriented videos since everyone seems to be doing the same.
These drives are made of pure legendary awesomeness!

Since I was able to rebuild my system over the past few months, rather than do a direct comparison between the differences of my original Dell XPS 410 and my new EVGA SR-2 build, I thought rather to wait until Intel released their new Generation 3 SSD drives.

The drives are not identical size but for the same price (and longer NAND cycle life), I figured why not go with the same price point and compare the old G2 160GB drive with the new G3 300GB drive? The installations are cloned installs so all data is equal. System specs are below:

Melchior System
Lian-Li PC-P80 Case
CPU: Dual Intel Xeon Quad E5620s at 3.7Ghz
RAM: DDR3 12GB @ 1600mhz
Graphics: EVGA Geforce GTX 580SC x2 + AXP Coolers
HDDs: Intel X-25M 160 GB SSD
Intel X-25M 300 GB SSD
(other drives for media and photos of course)

Thanks to Nate S. (ngsilver on Youtube) for linking such a catchy theme for the Opening Ceremonies of Youmacon 2010 - as such I wanted to use the song (Kohmi Hirose - Promise) for my video as well...
