    All SSDs are fast and it's really the latency that makes SSDs fast, which won't change much from one drive to the next.

    the encryption of the drive is what i found was cool but i see most OCZ have it but does samsung have it too? Also is there even a noticeable difference from 20k IOPS and 80k?
