Best performing SSD out there nowadays for Mac Mini?

[jalyst]

1)
What are the other major controllers in the consumer/enthusiast space?
(performance & budget oriented, leave out the real "enterprisey" stuff if you want)

2)
Okay, just their current line-up, understood...

3)
The bug's related to better support for non-standard Sandforce fw, & non-Sandforce controllers?
Any communities trying to add/improve/hack support into UEFI Macs? (unofficially & unsupported by Apple of course)
Come to think of it, my rMBP's Samsung*, so they must support more than Sandforce, at least for models other than the Mini.
Yeah what happened there, OCZ is dead right? Doesn't Toshiba own them now, was all the Sandforce IP included in that deal?
Any companies still selling more "performance oriented" (i.e. custom) Sandforce controllers/fw?

4)

the burst speed is the only thing capped by the interface, and it does not matter.

Why is that? Only used heavily in server environments etc?

the small and mid IO can only push about 200MB/s in a high end drive, and you cannot run a high end drive

200MB/s, that's still within the limits of SATA II which is 300MB/s.
So all the drives that are currently the best performers, don't use Sandforce standard/custom? What's their main components?

with what you can use they are essentially all the same performance

So, capacity being equal, all Sandforce SSD's with standard fw (which are the only ones usable by Macs) are exactly the same?
Are there not some that use different NAND or controller revs, & hence perform differently or have different reliability?

Sorry for the million & one Qns, I'll tone it right down once all the points above are addressed by your next response.
Thanks again for your time, it's very much appreciated...

Cheers!
