All I can say is that I hope for the Anobit controller. Hard to say about firmware as Intel usually roll there own.

The Anobit sata III controller was released to the Enterprise market 3 -4 months ago, the news release stated speeds of 535 read and write at that time.

I’ve been in and out of Hospital and the thread got locked, there were that many people asking for it to be opened so they stickied it, didn’t even ask for it. Hope your well, the site looks great.

Anobits funding as risen to 75 million, but they do have links to Apple and Samsung in flash technology.
