Hmm, is anyone interested in seeing intel's advantage with their sandforce firmware.

Around here I can get the Silicon Power Velox V30. It uses the sandforce controller and intel synchronous NAND, so it is very similar in phyisical construction to the Intel 520. Good news is that it is fairly inexpensive, about the same price as the cheapest async NAND drives.

If you guys think it would be interesting, I would not be against grabbing one and endurance testing it (see which one dies first ... the intel sandforce or the bare sandforce drive)
