[/img]Zalman's making an SSD? You betcha, and it's embedding a
SandForce SF-1222 controller in its N Series line. That controller has
proven to be the go-to one for loads of solid state drives, but
Zalman's joining the party a touch late. Unfortunately for it, the
MSRPs affixed to the 64GB ($169) and 128GB ($289) versions aren't
exactly class-leading, but the benchmarking gurus over at Legit
Reviews took it upon themselves to test a 128GB model anyway. After
running the gauntlet, the conclusions drawn were fairly predictable:
scores were right in line with every other SandForce drive they had
tested in recent months, with words like "speedy, resilient, and
reliable" detailing the drive. Reviewers did point out that the
pricing situation would likely hinder adoption rates, and it's still
unclear if a company more closely associated with cooling accessories
and cases can stake a claim in the storage realm. Hit the source link
for the full skinny if you're edging closer to pulling the trigger.
