I have a slightly modded Node 304.
I only have 2-3 storage locations I can use;
1- mSata on bottom of board (looking at a few listed below 240-256GB)
2- 2.5" mounted to inside front bay 1 (not really a bay)
2- 2.5" mounted to inside front bay 2 (not really a bay)
I definitely need to go mSata. This is going to be the OS/App drive. Budget is a concern, nothing over $130USD
Options found;
Used PM830 256GB - 100 shipped
New Crucial M500 240GB - 120 shipped
New MyDigitalSSD 240GB - 120 shipped
New Mushkin Enhanced 240GB - 124 shipped
On top of it, I currently have a 3.5" 7.2K 500GB drive as my everything drive. I was looking to replace it with a 2.5" flavor. Decent deal was found on the 600GB Raptor drives. Was looking to get 1 or 2 of them for a raid 0.
I think this would make a good overall system. If I can get the wife to go along with it to get this build completed, I may just pick up the 2 raptors and the PM830 unless there is something comparable to the PM830.
Thanks,
Outlaw
