In reply to Chris.

Those speeds are neither Sandforce or Marvell as you say the Marvell doesn’t put 400GB/s on a 60gb drive and the read speeds a random speeds seem low for a Sandforce controlled drive, but they are similar to the Hitachi, here’s the link.

I guess with Intel it’s a matter of wait and see

Intel have there own 6Gb/s controller already in operation on a joint adventure with Hitachi in a enterprise sas ssd drive, very similar performance to the Marvell Controller, maybe they will use that or go for the proven Marvell controller.

In reply to Les@TheSSDReview. Yes, but no Marvell-powered 60GB drive can hit 400MB/s writes. But we'll see soon enough.

Interesting find Chris although those performance numbers seem almost too similar to Marvell speeds… Time will tell.
