Is it just me, or are the performance numbers a bit disappointing given the size and price tag? I guess its a balance between size and speed.
They also have VERY limited writes/sector count (brobably in the hundreds) before they will start to fail, this has been handled by another PR statement "The drive is aimed at read-intensive applications"
Enterprise pays for SSDs that's tested throughly at firmware, controller, memory levels. They're not paying for the fastest, just the most reliable.
Many of the consumer SSDs are not tested to this extent, that's why the prices are so cheap. Look at OCZ as an example.
Would you as a business owner pay 100$ for 1000 SSDs that may glitch out early and have firmware bugs or would you pay 300$ for SSDs that's solid without having to go through firmware updates, glitches, and so on?
Latter looks pretty good to me, particularly if you're used to spinning rust.
