[quotemsg=9351209,16,515213]those are max theoretical speeds, not actual use speeds (kinda like how ATA133 drives had a burst speed of 120MB/s which they advertised, but in reality they averaged ~15-30MB/s). The reality of it all is that most SSDs are only working at 1/2 their rated speed most of the time. It is only when they are working with data that is compressible that they are able to really fly. These new drives may be equally fast (or even a little slower) on paper, but that does not have any bearing on real world performance. If the average and minimum speeds are better then it could be much faster than the previous gen drives, but we will have to wait and see the benchmarks.[/quotemsg]
that's only true for sandforced based drives
if people who moan about poor performance read the article, they'd see the drive was in IDE mode instead of AHCI which can severely gut the performance of SSDs
