The OCZ Vertex series of solid state drives might be the most anticipated
since the release of the Intel X25-M series. Using a new controller
technology from Indilinx, the Vertex drive we are previewing offers
incredible performance and a more reasonable price per GB.

Quote: "The Indilinx Barefoot controller, based on a custom logic ARM
processor, is doing nothing dramatically different than JMicron or Samsung
or even Intel controllers; but it has proved itself to be a strong
competitor for a first offering. In my initial preview testing the OCZ
Vertex drive offers read speeds just slightly below that of the Intel X25-M
80GB SSD but in most cases has a much faster write speed than the Intel
drive thanks in large part to the addition of 64MB of on-drive cache."

Thanks for a post!
