Marvell prototype SSD is blazing fast

Marvell’s latest prototype SSD is capable of hitting some rather impressive benchmark results, even when going up against Intel’s highly respected X25-M G2, where initial testing has pointed to a 33% increase in burst performance over what most people would consider to be one of the snappiest SSDs on the market today. Apart from that, Marvell’s prototype also boasted of a 27% uptick in sustained read performance as well as a 175% increase over the SATA 6Gbps Seagate hard drive. One cannot yet guarantee that the 6Gbps SSD is going to rule the market when it comes out commercially, mainly due to the lack of a pricing indicator and just how many people are willing to make that jump to upgrade their next storage solution.
