Its easy for the controller to check the nand cell to see if the data has already been written. Benchmarking programs have yet to write dynmamic data.

Who knows though, i may be wrong, anyone looking to spend the money to find out? One thing I am sure of though is that it will be over priced like all SSD drives... Seriously, stop making them faster and concentrate on bringing the SSD's price lower to the masses.... ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[GadgetGeek]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 4th 2010 9:01AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Corsair Force gives us another SandForce-controlled SSD speed demon]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/04/corsair-force-gives-us-another-sandforce-controlled-ssd-speed-de/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/04/corsair-force-gives-us-another-sandforce-controlled-ssd-speed-de/</guid><description><![CDATA[I'm forced to wonder were the rest of the storage went.  I'm sure these will be priced along side 128GB and 256GB drives respectively.  Or Corsair is trying to hit a lower price point with a slightly smaller product, still not doing us any favors on the pricing front there though.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[kal326]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 4th 2010 9:39AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Corsair Force gives us another SandForce-controlled SSD speed demon]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/04/corsair-force-gives-us-another-sandforce-controlled-ssd-speed-de/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/04/corsair-force-gives-us-another-sandforce-controlled-ssd-speed-de/</guid><description><![CDATA[@KAL326 <br><br>I'm betting they actually have 128GB and 256GB capacities, but due to the way the sandforce controller works, it uses the extra space for redundancy and error correction stuff.

Interesting 20% spare/reserve space held on the drive.  Though this seems the norm for enterprise class ssd, link indicated that they should have some consumer variants with a lower percentage used for spare which should result in 60GB, 120GB, etc drives.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[kal326]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 4th 2010 10:18AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Corsair Force gives us another SandForce-controlled SSD speed demon]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/04/corsair-force-gives-us-another-sandforce-controlled-ssd-speed-de/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/04/corsair-force-gives-us-another-sandforce-controlled-ssd-speed-de/</guid><description><![CDATA[I actually do not care what these cost, as I will not be getting one.  But I am excited to see more SSD products hitting the market every day at higher capacity and faster speeds.  It is only a matter of time before competition and maturing technology force the prices down to where us mere mortals can justify buying one (or two).  In the meantime, regular old hard drive technology is serving me well. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[glenn s]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 4th 2010 11:49AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Corsair Force gives us another SandForce-controlled SSD speed demon]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/04/corsair-force-gives-us-another-sandforce-controlled-ssd-speed-de/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/04/corsair-force-gives-us-another-sandforce-controlled-ssd-speed-de/</guid><description><![CDATA[Am I gonna have to start selling my hot bod............to be able to afford this thing??]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[esoto2010]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 4th 2010 12:46PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
