Mushkin Shows Off a 500-Dollar 4 TB SSD

My current game drive is a 4 TB Seagate mechanical. These would be a drop-in replacement. Can't ask for much more, at least for now. I mean, 8 TB for $500 would be nice, but given that a decent 4 TB mechanical still costs a fair bit....
I am using 2x 2tb hdd's for my game drives so I know what ya mean buddy. :toast:

Man, but I don't have half of my STEAM library installed, and my 4 TB drive is nearly full!! :pimp:

I have a 6TB HGST sitting in my server for games which is pretty much full and the 512GB Crucial in my machine is always filled with straight Steam library.
 
Sounds like other company's are either doing it wrong or they are just plain ripping us off.

Ripping us off?! No way! :laugh:
 
Also is there anyway to force raid 0 as opposed to JBOD?
JBOD is linear, so you could probably just use mdadm to split it in half (or give yourself a gig or two of elbow room in the middle) and put the pieces in a RAID-0 array. Your motherboard might hate you for it, though.

How else would they make net profits in billions??
 
By ripping off the workers even more then they might rip off consumers?

I don't think it would make much difference. The single Reactor drive is already pushing pretty close to the SATA limit. So running in RAID0, you're still going over a single SATA connection, so the speed wouldn't really be any better.

True, it should be on sata express then this wouldn't be an issue.
