Been a while since I had new gear to play with and had the time away from work to give the new gear some attention

First pairing will be with 256GB Crucial RealSSD C300 on Marvel SATA 6G port 6 and 2x2GB A-Data 2000X DDR3-2000Mhz 9-9-9-24 memory modules, pretty old kits from Elpida BBSE days.

Just arrived - 720GB SSD - 12x 60GB Gskill Phoenix Pro - Sandforce controller based SSD. My first experience with solid state disks with Sandforce based controllers. Plan to have alot of fun with these in various raid configurations for benchmarking, reviewing etc
