    Ok, I did a search and did not find this already posted (granted... the search function on this site is "iffy" at best) so I thought I would give it a go....

    PC Perspective - Intel 510 Series 250GB SATA 6G Solid State Drive Review

    I was reading this article on the new Intel 510 250GB SSD something I am (was?) considering buying and saw this.

    Just thought I would put it out there for discussion and general who-da-thunk-it

    Just read over at Anandtech that Intel may offer Sandforce drives soon as well...

    I wonder if thats what the April release G3s will have onboard.

    I sure hope not. Intel knows what they are doing with their SSD's. They should make it all their own like the G1 and G2's.

    hmmm the part I didn't like about the 510 was the power consumption has double from G2 SSD's.

    SandForce knows what there doing too. my Agility 2 is incredibly fast, and it may be much cheaper for intel to buy controllers than to build there own.
