Corsair 30GB Accelerator: Cuts Price, Not PerformanceWhen we reviewed Corsair's 60GB Cache Accelerator back in May, we were impressed by the drive's ability to boost the speed of an HDD-based PC without the need for a fresh OS installation.

What with the increae in HD prices my plans for a raid0 are becomng less and less relevant ssd + 2tb rather than 2x 11tb easily faster and more economic. Now that it does write as wellas read it s fine.
