"Corsair says that its combination of carefully selected NAND, the Marvell 9174 controller, and native 6Gbps SATA will allow these SSDs to reach read speeds of up to 480MB/sec and write speeds of 320MB/sec (256GB model)"

"The 128GB and 64GB models have lower performance with ratings of 410/210 and 365/110 respectively. "

Can't wait for Anand's review! But most of all the price.

Although I am VERY disappointed that Corsair lowered the performance for the 128GB and 64GB models.

It's not that Corsair purposely lowered the performance, it's that they likely can't go any faster due to having less capacity and thus fewer NAND channels to read/write from.

Thanks. I did not know that.

Now OCZ comes out with Vertex 3 - "read speeds of a whopping 550MB/sec and write speeds of an almost equally blazing 525MB/sec"

The competition heats up.
