Finally, the SSD we’ve been waiting for. It sounds great, can’t wait for some objective reviews.

Anyone else think 8 channel NAND controller is strange, since the old ones are 10 channel.

Looks like this is using a Marvell controller, similar to the Crucial C300. What the hell Intel?

I heard these are still based on the G2 controllers with added support for SATA/600 (and still with 34nm NAND), since the G3 controllers will be paired with SATA/300 support. What do you think based off of your testing and analysis of the ICs?

Seams interresting.
But i jusqt ordered a SSD OCZ IBIS 160GB.
According to the spec’s:
Max Read: up to 740MB/sec
Max Write: up to 690MB/sec
Seek tima: 0.1 ms

I decided for this drive, taking in accound the spec’s first, and the 160GB storage, which i consider as a perfect C:/ drive.
