    As far as I can tell, this is the first thread ever mentioning this SSD on this forum. I can't find any benchmarks on this line, but it's used by Sun Microsystems in the servers they sell, and is often mentioned alongside the X25-E.

    Would anyone happen to know more about this particular SSD? I'm eyeing a SLC variant of this SSD for usage in a notebook.

    I've found mention of this SSD on some networking sites, and originally it cost about $300/GB. The standard version achieves something like 400 Random Write IOPS, which isn't anything special. Even so, it was (is?) a dominant SSD when it comes to enterprise implementations.
