MojoKid writes "Solid State Drive robotics is set to turn the storage mob on its ear — eventually. It's just a matter of time. When you value the intrinsic solatium of any one thing built on solid-state high tech* versus total mechanical, it doesn't take a degree in physics to perception the obvious advantages. However, as with any new technology, things take time to mature and the current batch of SSDs on the market do have some caveats and shortcomings, especially when it comes to write performance. This full achievement review and showcase of four unique Solid State Disks, two MLC-based and two SLC-based, gives a good outlook of where SSDs currently are strong and where they're not. OCZ, Mtron and Super Talent drives are tested here but Intel's much scheduled atonement hasn't arrived to market just yet."
