Intel 310 Retro Fit?

[GJOB]

Will the above be able to be retro fitted once PCS have them in stock?

Any idea of prices yet, there are a few prices on the net but what will PCS likely be charging?

Thanks.

OK, if prices aren't available can anyone confirm my first question or was it so stupid it doesn't dignify a response?

What is the Intel 310? Do you mean the Ivy Bridge processors? If so, you are welcome to order one and install it inside your computer once released.

Sorry, it's the SSD,

I thought it had been mentioned on here by you guys 0 but I can't find any reference so I may be mistaken.

no its the 320 series now, thats what i have...

I would go with the Intel SSD 330 which is cheaper than the 320. I'd like to know if those will be stock by PCS.

 

[GJOB]

Aha, we're getting somewhere now

 

[PCS]

Intel 330 series will be available @ PCS as soon as they are released on 13th April

The intel 310 is a mSATA card. If you have the ROG Z77 board you can use this because of its mSATA connection.

the 310 comes in both sizes. It comes as an msata and also a standard 2.5" 9.5mm. We sell the 310 2.5" drive currently as an slc cache drive. This drive may seem quite expensive compared to say normal mlc ssd, but what you want for cache drive is slc flash.

Following a chat with Tech Support it appears the there would be no spare PCI-e slot for it to be installed in in the Optimus II

It's a shame as the quote from Intel looked really promising:
"The small footprint of the Intel® SSD 310 Series also augments hard-disk drive (HDD) performance in dual-drive systems, such as all-in-ones, notebooks and small-form-factor desktops. The mSATA form factor connects easily to an existing mSATA port on a PC, which enables the Intel® SSD to perform as a boot drive and provide quick access to frequently-used applications or storage."

Sorry to drag this out but is there any existing model that can accommodate this (I should have asked when I called...dur)
