I mean sure it will pump up the sinthetic numbers fast, but would it bring as much of real world performance like a single controller SSD of matching speeds would?
I hope someone gets to the botom of this when we have enough products to make a feasable comparison...
Most modern SSDs today use NAND flash that is capable of 25Mb/sec. The Intel X25-E SLC SSD is using a 10-channel controller and achieves the 250Mb/sec. Mtrons use 4 or 5 channels with the same/simlar NAND flash chips.
But those MLCs are doing it in a different way: they put two V2/Solid SSDs in one packaging with a separate controller to handle both of them.
Kinda like the native & glued-together dual core debate with the Pentium-D and the Athlon X2 CPUs, or the Phenom Vs Kentsfield quads. Only in the case of these drives it's more like 2 Celerons glued together
