In reply to Benjamin Hojnik. This simply is not true. As there is a drive that uses two ports to handle data at 600 or faster. The problem is most of these drives get no spotlight because sata is very limited currently, until the new update which wont be ready for quite awhile. And personally I don't want to offload everything to pci-e. But realisticly I want to know about all of the fastest ssd drives that are not pci-e. Because realisticly I could use these drives with a raid card or for actual practical use outside of being dependent on pci-e.

In reply to Mike. Unless you're a specs whore, BX100 250GB for 84.99$ is the way to go. All of them are very fast in real world anyway.

In reply to Benjamin Hojnik. 850 pro 256gb $139. Corsair neutron xt 240gb $109 and Hyperx savage 240gb $99. Just as fast looks like a better deal. If 850 pro is 1 what is the number 2 ssd the speed can't be too far behind?

In reply to Mike. SATa 6Gbit isn't capable of 600Mbit. ~550MB/s is the max practical speed of SATA 6g. Also, if you want fast sata drive, you have 850PRO. Best there is. S10 can't touch that.

Thanks for the announcement. We have seen enough budget low end read intensive drives week after week with every nand shrink. Sata as I Know it is close to 600mbs read/write. Let’s make it a standard 600mbs read/write. That’s what we want. forget pcie ssds at
the moment, sata is capable of these speeds let’s make it happen. stop with the slow write ssds when the tech is there to have fast read and write. these ssds should be featured and advertised more, not the million sata entry level ssds. Phison S10 8-channel controller with MLC NAND seems like the only company trying to make sata ssds faster everyone else wants to make it slower and call it budget read intensive. Now if we could only get a review of some of these ssds instead of announcements! LOL.
