Guru3D has just reviewed the Silicon Power 32 GB solid state drive.

Let’s see what they had to say:

“Again we see an impressive SSD product. At first I was a bit weary about testing this drive as another review on the web was a bit negative on the read & write performance. Once I figured out we received the newest revised version straight from the factory and noticed the first performance results, I admittedly was a bit shocked. Certainly the write-speed can be improved, but guys come on .. over 60 MB/sec is just real fast as it is already. The bottleneck remains smaller files. Smaller than 16KB will result in an incremental decrease of write performance. So if you want to run an OS on this drive, it's definitely something you need to consider. It's not the end though, yet in certain situations every now and then that performance will be below par, and that's where for example a WD Raptor would shine.”


This seems like another great SSD, but availability seems to be an issue since I could not find it for sale anywhere.
