I'm not saying it's 100% for sure SF+async, I just think it's a bad trend to be sticking a SF in the 300 series. If Intel wanted to stick with a 3rd party controller, I wish it had been Marvell anyway. A low cost Marvell powered 330 would be righteous IMHO. But Intel isn't paying me for my opinion, so it's inconsequential what I think.

I just hope this doesn't mean we're never going to see the next 10 channel in a consumer drive.
