    I have a new Calvary 256GB SSD, model CASD0256C1, and I'm wondering if it's worth using? I couldn't find any reviews of it. Is it at least reliable? I'm not concerned with the fastest transfer rates or anything, I'm using a 7200rpm drive now.

    Thanks :)

    Is that one Indillinx Barefoot based? Bench looks similar to that of my Crucial M225.

    open ssd enclosure and read directlz from the chip ;)

    it could be barefoot/martini though. Little strange that it's not even faster considering it's 256gb drive, but it doesn't really matter, it's miles ahead of any hdd in 1 mile race :)

    I wonder how reliable it'll prove to be, if you don't notice any issues with it in first weeks it'll probably outlast couple of your pc-s.

    I love old school indillinxes :D
