I am curious if anyone knows what kind of NAND is being used in these SSDs.
Yes, I have read the whining about the "bait and switch" by PNY for changing the SMI controller to SF-2281, it is irrelevant, and the same way that I expressed it about Kingston on the V300 issue, it is not bait and switch (Unless Kingston specifically said sync NAND in the V300, it is not bait and switch. If they sent samples with sync nand to reviewers, the reviewers should have raised the question on how the V series and the hyper-x would differentiate if the NANd and controller was the same. Well, same for PNY, the reviewers should have inquired on how the value line Optima would have better controller than the performance XLR8... but that is for another topic)
I was reading that the "bait and switch" optima were in reality rebadged XLR8, which happen to be very good SSDs. If they are using sync NAND, regardless of controller, they are tempting. Does anyone know what kind of NAND is being used by the PNY optima?
Thanks
