Hey all, saw this link over at vr-zone. It's in French, but the translated conclusion is below. Figured it would tide us over until Anand gets his up.

There conclusion was that the m4 was the drive to get, as it's cheaper, has more capacity, and has the highest random reads and is tied for highest random write. The poor performance of the 120 V3 kept it from taking the top spot it appears.
 
I read it this morning and wasn't really surprised by any of it... except for one thing.

The Ramdisk offered 5-15% increase in performance over SSDs, despite being 10x times as fast. It's really looking like with modern SSDs, we've effectively closed the bottleneck that exists between CPU and storage. It also suggests that SSDs are about as good at general OS tasks as they'll ever get.

Translation: Go get an SSD. Any one will do.
 
with the Sandforce controller now dropping performance for it's mid sized capacity drives.. all these bench wars will now have dedicated weight classes.

And considering that all the other controllers drop performance(as always) when going down the capacity ladder?... I'm guessing the V3 will still be at the top of its weight class. We'll soon see when more accurate capacity matched testing is done.
