Quoted for truth. I don't see any use for these drives any more to be honest. I guess it could be the best choice for benchers, or people running the cards in raid on a dedicated raid card. That would lose you TRIM, and these drives are said to not really go down in performance without TRIM, unlike the Intel drives.
