Micron RealSSD C300 256GB @ Legit Reviews
“The Micron RealSSD C300 256GB SSD is an amazing SSD that has the ability to take advantage of the SATA 6 Gbps interface. When we first looked at SATA 6 Gbps performance using the Seagate XT 2TB hard drive we found the burst speed to be impressive, but found that a hard drive was able to fully use the new interface since it wasn’t fast enough.”
G.Skill Falcon II 128GB SSD @ Guru3D
“Their newly released SSD is called the Falcon II which is a follow up of the original Falcon Solid State Disk series. But make no mistake, it still comes with Indilinx controller, 64MB cache memory and packs a read speed of 220 MB/sec and a write speed of 150MB sec — which makes the word ‘slower’ a bit of a paradox. The SSD comes with firmware revision 1819 which has full support for the TRIM-command in Windows 7.”
OCZ Vertex LE 100GB SSD @ Legit Reviews
“The OCZ Vertex LE is one of the fastest SSDS that we have ever seen here at Legit Reviews.

We were able to reach read speeds of up to 290MB/sec. and write speeds of up to 240MB/sec in ATTO on the Vertex LE and that was impressive.”

“Kingston Technology was very quick to jump on the solid state bandwagon. Their first offerings were more or less rebadged Intel products, but at the time Kingston chose the fastest drive we had ever seen and that strategy worked out well. Later Kingston chose to take what they learned from the Intel offerings and went to work on their own configurations.”
