Who is this manufacturer? I have seen some great deals on their SSDs in the past few months, and they get good reviews too, but never heard of them before? As SSDs are mostly OS dive, reliability is the key, is this a known maker?

Another flip-flopper hits the market. The Silicon Power S60 first released as a SandForce-based SSD, but now sports a Phison S8, without customer warning.

The mixed read / write random performance is nothing short of awful with the Silicon Power S60. The drive is still faster than a hard drive, but this isn't a hard drive review.
