    Intel 320 or Corsair F115?

    Go Intel because they are the most reliable. The added speed of the F115 is not worth it !

    New Indilinx firmwares coming with up to 500% performance?

    Typical OCZ behaviour : "we don't know what the SMART data means" and yet you claim to have produced these SSDs LOL. My rule of thumb for storage and RAM and panels and everything etc. : only buy from people that make the actual things eg Intel make the NAND but OCZ do not. LG make the...

    Sandforce's flaky SSD SMART attributes

    IMHO I would stay away from sandforce at all costs. Just get Intel if you want most reliable. Get Vertex 3 if you want speed that only lasts a couple of months before it dies etc.

    LOL seems like the OCZ buyers are tired of being guinea pigs LOL !

    External drive supporting encryption without software

    What you are looking for is called AES hardware encryption. EG like this http://www.broadbandbuyer.co.uk/Shop/ShopDetail.asp?ProductID=9896 !

    OCZ Vertex 3 240gb max iops-does anyone knowledgable think it matters?

    It does not affect home users at all. The IOPS number is all about how long your ePeen is. Even 1000 IOPS should be more than enough etc. considering HDD does about double digits figure etc.

    Single-chip SSD controller

    LOL I don't think so. No need for DRAM = strong ssd controller Needs loads of dram = whacky ssd controller

    How bad will next gen NAND P/E cycle count will be?

    It cannot. It is just basic physics. No matter how much you "refine the process". Just get one of the good old trusty G2 drives before they get discontinued.

    OCZ Vertex 3 240gb max iops-does anyone knowledgable think it matters?

    Well I have seen it happen to a couple of computer illiterate people that I know. They idiotically paid for the "antivirus". Just how dumb can people get these days ! On the other hand hats off to the designers of that software because they have a good business model. If people are dumb enough...

    How bad will next gen NAND P/E cycle count will be?

    Finally somebody that is smart enough to realize that this technology is dead in its tracks and is not going anywhere soon ( except to the trash maybe ). You just cannot scale this technology any further. Graphene or another next-gen material is the answer. Soon enough you will see 1000...

    OCZ Vertex 3 240gb max iops-does anyone knowledgable think it matters?

    Obviously the MAX IOPS has Toshiba toggle-mode 34nm NAND that is 1) much faster 2) much more reliable in the cycles it can resist 3) more expensive than the 25nm IMFT flash in the normal version. On another note : you are being paranoid about all those security applications. I used to run...

    Intel 20gb Larson Creek SSD

    Massive fail IMHO just get 64GB MLC for the average consumer and put Windows on it and leave your dirty videos on HDDs ( that's what HDDs are there for etc. ) ? Will this support the Intel G3 controller / firmware with AES encryption and NAND redundancy or just like an Intel G2 drive but with...

    Larson Creek: Intel 311 Series, Price $ :o

    IMHO massive fail Intel. Two reasons : -for me personally and probably other enterprise applications : no AES encryption and NAND redundancy because of the Intel G2 controller inside. They should have used the G3 one instead. -for the average Joe : at that price I can buy a nice 80GB SSD and...

    Which SLC SSD do you recommend ?

    Too bad the P300 doesn't have AES encryption like SF or Intel 320.
