  • Angelbird SSD's - a review

    I recently (a few months back) bought a new PC from XI Machines loaded up with Angelbird SSD's and just want to put a short review up here for anyone wondering about either of these companies - even though they're both already recommended by VSL. Basically don't think about it. I have waited and worked with this machine for several months now intensely before saying anything, but I'm happy to confirm that everything is absolutely FLAWLESS. I'll do a review of XI Machines in a seperate post later when I have time as that's more detailed, but as for the Angelbird SSD's the good news is the review is very simple! These are beautifully made devices, extremely cool (mine are all internal of course) - extremely fast, not a hitch. I got the master class of drives, but after using these for a while now - and successfully employing VSL's suggestion of lowering the load buffer in VI Pro to save RAM - I am happy to confirm that in my experience thus far they are 100% living up to their hype and reputation, and frankly if I didn't have the budget I would go with confidence with any of their cheaper models also. I got them for all my system drives - Windows drive, an audio drive for projects, and three larger library drives (3X 480Gb) and this thing is awesome. If you're wondering about going for it - seriously: wonder no more!! I wish there was more I could say about them but honestly they just work, and they're so simple - what more is there to say. Very fast, very cool. Just wanted to pass that on and thanks to VSL for recommending them.
