SSDs x2 or Headphones Amplifier and Headphones

[Extreme Gamer]

The pro700mk2 is the most bassy headphones in the planet.

The 595s are ancient and have a poor soundstage.

I do not know how this poll is going to help. Its a question based on your personal preference/ interest. I will say SSD x2 because I wouldn't need the other stuff. Depends on your needs and preference. How hard can it be to prioritise your upgrade requirements?

 

[Sarath]

Why not get an amp and a SSD. Wait till you get bored of the 558 and then get the proxxx

Voted for SSD. I really think 1 SSD should be enough

 

[Extreme Gamer]

No. 1 SSD is not enough. Its double or nothing. Look at the link I posted.

The problem is that I have no priorities at the moment. If I spend on one thing, I wont be able to spend on the other for at LONG time!

Looks like SSD wins.

looks like SSD wins.

Repeating: go with the SSDs. And do post the results of your "experiment" with benchmarks are all. Really keen to know more about it.

 

[Sarath]

Okies with SSD. Can you link me the headphones meanwhile @sale

 

[Extreme Gamer]

Sarath, here you go:

Amazon.com: Audio-Technica ATH-PRO700MK2 Professional DJ Monitor Headphones: Electronics

Can anyone tell me a good SATA III RAID card that wont bottleneck two SSDs?

I ordered two of these: Amazon.com: OCZ 120 GB Vertex 3 SATA III 2.5-Inch Solid State Drive MAX IOPS 6.0 Gb-s VTX3MI-25SAT3-120G: Electronics

So, it won't.
There you go: Vantec 4+1 SATA II 300 and PATA PCI-E Combo Host Card with RAID
Or,
Syba Combo SATA III (6.0Gbps) + IDE Ports (2+1) PCI-Express RAID 0, 1 Card

This one was posted somewhere: SuperMicro AOC-USAS2-L8i

lol it was a long period of agony!!!!

You ordered them from amazon. One question: generally how many days it takes for being shipped to India?

 

[Extreme Gamer]

what do you mean by it wont?

at amazon, 5 days for priority shipping, which i use with expensive orders. and upto 15 days on expedited shipping.

 

[d6bmg]

Sorry, edited my post. And thanks for the info on amazon.

 

[Extreme Gamer]

Those cards are worse than SATA 3.

PCIE 2.0 manages 2.5Gb/s=312.5MB/s on a single lane.

I need PCIEx4 2.0 minimum

How much for the supermicro?

 

[d6bmg]

How much for the supermicro?

Don't have any idea. Saw that in tom's hardware, looked good, so posted it here..
