Tieing up a 24-page roundup in a few lines isn’t easy, especially as the cost of flash memory is currently dropping, meaning that the price of 120 to 128 GB SSDs is changing almost daily, with some manufacturers responding faster than others. Pricing i...
Abstract: Although Crucial brand is used by a daughter-company of Micron, one of the semiconductor market leaders, RealSSD C300 uses not only Micron components inside. Yes, flash memory chips are only...
Abstract: When we published our first SSD report in September 2008, an Intel X25-M 80 GB cost around €500. Since then prices have certainly come down and Intel now markets its Intel SSD 320 Series 300 GB at the same price! An entry level 128 GB SSD such as thos...
