That is AS-SSD access time, which is measured with 512B IOs, not 4KiB. The only SSDs that do really well with 512B IOs are Intel and Samsung. The Crucials do well with 512B read access time, but much worse for 512B writes than Intel and Samsung. It looks like Everest will join Intel and Samsung. But I'm not sure how important 512B access time is. If you look at IO traces (eg., Ao1 has posted some), 512B IOs are quite rare with Windows 7.

Much more important than 512B access time is 4KiB access time. The Crucials are a bit ahead of the V3s for 4KiB reads, but the V3s are a bit ahead of the Crucials for 4KiB writes (even incompressible data). It will be interesting to see where the Everest SSDs fit in for 4KiB access times. My guess is that they will be similar to Intel 320s.
