Mushkin adds SandForce SSD to their portfolio: Calypso

[W1zzard]

Like most other SSD manufacturers, Mushkin has added a SandForce based SSD to their lineup which promises to deliver leading performance at a better pricing than their existing products. In terms of capacities you will have a choice from 64 to 256 GB without exact pricing still unknown. As controller the SandForce SF-1200 is used, Mushkin is also working on a SF-1500 "enterprise" controller based drive, which mainly adds more IOPS to the write performance at the same 260 MB/s write speeds.

Better pricing sounds good to me.

Case looks good, drive looks good, but I doubt the price is anywhere near good, even if it's better than before

But atleast they are trying (general to all SSD makers).

If they really tried they'd be actively replacing HDD's by now. :shadedshu

HDD's have their place (mass storage mainly). But yeah, I do wish I could pick up a 80GB SSD as an OS/programs drive for about $100.
