the pricing looks good we'll just have to see some benchmark numbers

[Blacksmith1]

At those prices I'll take one. they'd blow my SATA and IDE drives outta the water no matter what the benches are.

[James86]

I want an SSD so bad but I just can't justify the price per GB that's why I recently bought 2 Samsung F3's to put in a raid 0. It has good seq read and writes and comes out to 2 Tb's of storage. They both cost me $80 total on sale and I can always ad a third or fourth for more performance

What controller and nand is in the GT's?

[James86]

it uses a SandForce SF-2281 controller and 8 MLC NAND flash chips made by Micron

[Joshua_Mahr]

Should be good. Is that 22nm?

[James86]

not sure
