Four SSDs Compared — OCZ, Super Talent, Mtron

MojoKid writes "Solid State Drive technology is set to turn the storage industry on its ear — eventually. It's just a matter of time. When you consider the intrinsic benefits of anything built on solid-state technology versus anything mechanical, it doesn't take a degree in physics to understand 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 performance review and showcase of four different Solid State Disks, two MLC-based and two SLC-based, gives a good perspective of where SSDs currently are strong and where they're not. OCZ, Mtron and Super Talent drives are tested here but Intel's much anticipated offering hasn't arrived to market just yet."

Showmaster: Well, well, well ladies and gentlemen, these fine men have come very far in our show! Here we have contestant 1:

I had a 286 laptop with MS-DOS in ROM.

And contestant 2:

I had a Sinclair ZX-81 with OS and BASIC language in ROM

It's obviously a very close call, ladies and gentlemen! We're looking at each contestant its Slashdot UID....
 
*drumrolls*

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, it's Neon Spiral Injector who obviously has the advantage here!
