    I bought a 500GB XT a couple of months ago for 89 euros here, now it's 165 euros!

    I wonder what it's going on.

    Edit: I guess it's because of the problems in Thailand.

    Is that sarcasm?

    If not, it's because of the flooding in Thailand.

    Interesting development. While first a 500GB XT was about equally priced to a 64GB Crucial M4, now you can get a 128GB M4 for the price of the 500GB XT.

    That makes SSDs a lot more appealing imo.

    Since it seems SSD prices (at this time) are remaining unaffected, I totally agree.

    Windows task manager enable i/o read and write and see what process is writing/reading to the harddrive during your test.

    1. CTRL-ALT-DEL
    2. Task Manager
    3. Click process tab
    4. Under "view" at the top, click select columns
    5. Check i/o reads and i/o writes
    6. Click OK
    7. Then under process tab sort by i/o read or i/o writes

    This lets you know what is thrashing your hard drive.
