In reply to Les@TheSSDReview. The Evo and Q-series "cheat" because both use for a limited time a SLC-mode. The Evo can hold for some seconds about 500MB/s and then it drops to about 250MB/s (250GB-version). The Toshiba write 50% with over 450MB/s and then drops to <100MB/s because it wrote the 1st50% in SLC-mode and then it writes to second bit of the NAND Benchmarks like AS SSD, Crystal Disk Mark and Atto wrote to less GB to show this behaviour

Is the sequential transferrate equal from begin to the end? To much manufacturers cheating in that case (Samsung Evo, Toshiba Q-series)

In reply to PommieB. You are correct. We never had the pdf available to us at that point in time and received different information obviously.

In reply to Les@TheSSDReview. Hi Les, I think that controller has only 4 channels and not 8 can you clarify that. I'm getting conflicting info.
