Solid state drives are just zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
 
As in zzzzzzzzzzzipping fast.
 
Good stuff. We need more SSDs based on the excellent Indilinx controllers.

Hopefully manufacturers will figure it out and stop making SSDs with those garbage JMicron controllers...
 
I wonder if that's the same controller the OCZ Vertex series are using too, they were released what around a month ago, and have similar speed specs, similar 64mb cache. Good to see SSD's improving at a good rate, prices keep going down, soon enough I might be able to justify one (or two for raid 0 :D ).
 
The G.Skill Falcon is the same drive as the OCZ Vertex and SuperTalent MasterDrive ME SSDs. They all use the same Indilinx Barefoot controller...
