There are quite a few positives about this SSD but I believe the Vertex 3 is the one to get, sure the M4/C400 will be a great performer but there are no news on availability.

I haven't given up on this SSD yet, it's a great allrounder and real-life performer but nothing extreme.
Still waiting for someone to give it a run with PCMV.
Hi Anvil,

Yeah, you are the SSD-freak and get all these just for fun and testing but I'm a bit confused about Intel's 510-move. Why should they release a "great allrounder and real-life performer but nothing extreme." just when everybody is releasing next-gen high end SSD, and just before G3 which was meant to fill the spot?

They may still fix it with new FWs, so there is still a bit hope for this SSD, but if the performance remains at this spot, I'm afraid this move means Intel got big problems with 25nm NAND + Intel controller. I hope this doesn't mean a big delay for G3. Because that was our hope for big and cheap "great allrounder and real-life performer but nothing extreme."
