Decent article, but out of date by a few months. None of the drives listed use the newer SandForce controller, which skyrockets sequential writes into the 275 MB/s range, and random writes into 50K IOPS. These drives are where it's at (for home/commodity use, etc).
- Zev 16y agoThe Crucial RealSSD C300 drive he cites has a theoretical max of 355MB/s. I happen to have have this drive. Writes comes close to 150MB/s at times, after a month and a half of use on OS X (which apparently lacks TRIM). Thats not too shabby. Here's an Xbench result from about a month and a half ago (when I first got it) and one for today (as of 10:36am est): http://db.xbench.com/merge.xhtml?doc1=459679&doc2=469412&setCookie=true http://db.xbench.com/merge.xhtml?doc1=459679&doc2=469412...

- justinchen 16y agoI upgraded my MBP to the Corsair Force 240GB and it's been blazing. Boots in seconds and I'm never waiting for anything anymore.
- Perceval 16y agoI bought a 24GB ExpressCard SSD to use as a boot drive and to launch certain applications from. Gave my MacBook Pro new life, even though it's not a high end SSD.
