is it sandforce or something else?

I mean vertex and gskill had very good ratings

C300 Controller
Vertex and G.Skill got many models
Vertex 2 EX, Vertex 2 and G.Skill Phoenix Pro are good

How come i run my gskill phoenix pro 120GB on crystal mark test like not very good?

so on 6gb/s, the c300 will win the intel but not the sandforce controller ssd which are still using 3gb/s interface?

Will 1 sata power cable splitter be able to power up both ssd and mechnical hard disk? Or is it better to connect 1 to 1?

 

[Metroid]

The Patroit is it good compare to OCZ or gskills.

OCZ Vertex 2 and Agility 2 with 25nm Flash MLC
OCZ should be launching its new Vertex 2 and Agility 2 SSDs soon. With the previously unavailable capacities (for OCZ) of 80, 160 and 320, these models combine the SandForce SF-1200 controller with 25nm Flash MLC, probably from IMFT (Intel / Micron).....

i am looking at 80Gb, for a speedier boot up, running PS

i always get from amazon.. their communication, return policy etc all very clear..

[Norman Chan]

Amazon US or Amazon UK?

So is 250 read and 70 write for the 80 gb version. Think the read is ok but the write is a bit slow as compare to Sandforce controller SSD.
