Absolute fastest SSD on the market today??

I want to know what the absolute fastest SSD is on the market today in the 120-250GB range.
So far, I have found the following statement but is it fact? I know reliability is awesome with Intel's Cherryville but I want to find the fastest drive, forget reliability for a moment.


Re: I only have one data point where the 520 behaves better than other SF-2281 based drives, but that alone is a perfect example of what you pay for with Intel. This is exactly what we've been waiting for. If you want the absolute fastest SSD on the market today, the Intel SSD 520 is the only drive to get. If you're put off by the price, Samsung's SSD 830 is an excellent alternative.

Benchmark Scores Faster than yours... I'd bet on it. :)

I know this is an old post but...

What about the revodrives? They are SSD's but on PCIe and they blow away that drive (actually as do most of the modern drives). That IO is brutally low and transfer speeds are nearly half of the fastest 2.5" SSD's...
