I missed that part ok but the same article said:

This drive will come the market in late Q1 2009

well I think this EX series with the 260MB/s read and 210MB/s write is decent enough, by the end of the year there are gonna be many new SSDs out that will be faster then what ever is out now

F that, by that time they can shove it where the sun don't shine

well I'm not waiting for no SATA 3.0 when there is nothing that will max out 2.0 yet, and to be honest at around 300MB/s read and write speed I'm good to go, at some point the speed difference becomes very little, things can only load so fast.

I'm confused as to why you think anybody on this forum would give you advice aceboy44.  Anytime anybody provides you with any that you don't like or don't care to take you are abrasive and rude.  I suggest you try and seek advice elsewhere as I'm sure this community has had enough of your poor attitude.  

My sony Vaio VGN-SR290 is as follows:

I see on this forum you are trying to sell it.   http://forum.248am.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=10607&p=140871, so are you selling it or keeping it?
