Max read/write....blah.

What is the min!

 

[jasonelmore]

must be tons of little nand dies inside (instead of 1 big die) to reach those write/read speeds

So all they are giving us is the maximum speeds and expect us to buy this crap?
This is the Kingston SSD bait and switch all over again.

Hmm, elaborate on this one please? Never heard about anything like this.

What Kingston did with their V300 SSD was sent review sites SSDs that tested 300MB/s write and 500MB/s reads. But the same version of the drives that customers received had 90MB/s write and 150MB/s read speeds when they switched NAND technlogy from synchronous to asynchronous.

If a company cannot tell you the minimum of what your are getting then be very skeptical, similar to ISP speeds.

article already stated "minimum write speeds of 30MB/s"
UHS spec always indicate the min write speed

I'm surprised these SD cards are reaching the speed of the SSD. Pretty soon, ultrabook/laptops will run on SD cards instead of mSATA.

 

[mordorrson]

"constant minimum write speeds of 30MB/s" that means the minimum read speed is going to be about 50MB/s, pay attention to what you're reading people

What is the price range for theses cards

 

[dextermat]

One of the most important thing is how long do they lasts. Toshiba hard drive has a high failure rate.

Huh, scumbag Kingston! I bought quite a few V300 60 GB SSDs for my clients (best value for money 60 GB around here). However, I benchmarked most of them... speeds were about 300-500 MB/s as claimed, not 90-150 (that would suck big time). Maybe they rectified the trickery?
