Oh Hellss yess. If they can offer speeds equal to or greater than the X25-E at less cost, that would tempt me big time.
Still MLC though, but poop happens.

I believe they stopped using them after the fiasco with the Core series, but I have no source to back that up.

their Apex line > Vertex line right? I'm still trying to pick out a SSD

doesn't look like it.
Also, for 800 bucks, two of the vertex 128gb SSDs in raid0 might be unbeatable.

SSDs are touted as more reliable, yet HDDs have 5-year warranties on them and SSDs have 2-year warranties (3-year if you go with Intel). If they are more reliable, then putting warranties on them that are at least as good as those of their HDD counterparts should not be a problem. 1.5 million hours MTBF means jack crap if you can't back it up with a warranty. You might as well be crossing your fingers openly when telling me that the MTBF is that high as far as I'm concerned.

:\\ Now when they can create an SSD that doesn't have a severely limited amount of write cycles before it's fubar, they will impress me.
Yeah, it's fast, but what's the point if the damn thing wears out in 6 months to a year? Gimme some platters any day, I'll lol at the SSD users that didn't buy platter drives to back up on when their rig goes down.

It's new tech...there needs to be headroom for faults...Reason why HDD have a 5-year warranty is because they have been out so long and have gone through many revisions over time.

A 1.5 million hour MTBF rate constitutes more than a decade of continuous use. If they advertise that much reliability, then the warranty should be there to back it up. Headroom has nothing to do with it.

interesting.. out of all the values i have considered before slapping down the cash on an SSD (or a few) i haven't ever really thought of the warranty..
its a great point. one that should be highly considered!
although i have taken a different route, (perc 5i..) one day my perc 5i will be filled with cheap discounted ssd's

one day!

Well...your best bet is to just ask them directly and let us know what you find out since neither of us have "solid" proof. There is no point in arguing over speculation.

Did you see the conversation about MTBF? Your statements are ridiculous.
