Without reading which is faster?

Without reading tons of reviews, bottom line which SSD drive is faster

Crucial C300 128GB

Intel 510 120GB

Never mind the new Intel drive sucks.....I read Anandtech's review the C300 still kills it really...

kills?

the 510 is faster in all but a couple of the real world benchmarks, but the difference between it and the C300 in every test is small enough that neither "sucks" or "kills" the other.

c300 is old news now. the new intel 510 beats it out hands down.

"Kills" may be a bit enthusiastic, given Anand's comments...

"My biggest complaints about the 510 actually aren't about Intel's use of a 3rd party controller, instead they are about the drive's lackluster random read performance.
In a horrible bout of irony Intel fixed its sequential performance and moved backwards in the random department.
Random read performance, as it turns out, has a pretty major impact in the real world.

Random write performance is also pretty low by today's standards, however the impact on most of our real world performance tests is minimal. It looks like we may have hit the upper limit of what we need from 4KB random write performance (at least given current workloads)."

Yes both are close in speed.

And kills it ??

Hardly.

Try to be less bias since you own a c300.

This is my takeaway from Anand's review. Random reads/writes used to be important because BITD drives didn't have enough of it. These days SSDs have so much random read/write performance that more no longer matters in real world performance (with current software).
