Default MTRON SSD 32GB: Wile E. Coyote or Road Runner?

The final HD Tach results showed the NVIDIA 680i generating a sustained transfer rate of 95.1 MB/sec, write speeds of 74.7 MB/sec, and a burst rate of 100.4 MB/sec. The same MTRON drive on the Intel P35/ICH9R boards scored a sustained transfer rate of 79.4 MB/sec, write speeds of 67.2 MB/sec, and a burst rate of 82.7 MB/sec. For those keeping count, the NVIDIA 680i chipset was showing a 17% improvement in sustained transfer rates, 11% improvement in write speeds, and a 21% increase in burst rates. Some of the synthetic benchmarks show improvements up to 88% in certain cases while our current application benchmarks show anywhere from a 1% to 20% gain when using the NVIDIA 680i instead of the Intel ICH9R.

faster at what? reading some files, where it matters, write speed, it's slower, and at 32gb it's way too small.

did you read my sentence? AT THAT PRICE it's NO GOOD DEAL. What price?

Quote:
the current introductory price of $1499
so this drive, is in fact, the worse deal I saw this week, worse than that 8600 GT with 1Gb!

price doesn't really matter as it pushes the speed of SSD further

Technology will push everything further. Price does matter in everything we do.

Last I checked, it looks like Anandtech.com got some wires crossed! Entire site & forums are returning errors at the moment. Was halfway through the review.

Edit: They're back up.
