(You can't get no) SATAsfaction 6Gbps SSDs (yet)

Enterprise solid state drives aren't typically our foray, but when they support SATA 6G, we pay attention. It also doesn't hurt when they sport a fantastic name. The SATAsfaction drives from Accelerated Memory Production (AMP) have both Sandforce controllers and the speedy ports to match, alongside 12 byte per sector ECC error correction and TRIM support. Still, they're not the fastest SSDs around, clocking in at only 260MB / sec reads and 150MB / sec writes, but they do have SLC flash memory for likely higher reliability than the current speed demon. No pricing or availability yet, but SLC NAND is pretty expensive stuff... so unless you're buying for a corporation with a large bankroll, better count on waiting for the cheaper Devo version.

Really? Benny Benassi is better than the Stones?

[kenboy127 Posted Apr 27th 2010 1:33AM]

Love the title.

[smeee Posted Apr 27th 2010 1:41AM]

6 gigabits equals 768 megabytes

so they are 1/3rd of the way to saturating the bus

[pranayagarwal Posted Apr 27th 2010 1:44AM]

There should be a law against such titles.

[JackBauer Posted Apr 27th 2010 3:19AM]

no!!!

@MGDdrinker
awwww, this was already mentioned.
damn

[rideintegrity Posted Apr 27th 2010 2:36AM]

Why does the picture say SATA II? next gen is SATA III. old picture? or did someone in marketing make a goof?

[Jason Litka Posted Apr 27th 2010 8:05AM]

Sandforce controllers are SATA II, not III.

[rideintegrity Posted Apr 27th 2010 11:05AM]

@Jason Litka I know Sandforce is II..but why does he say in the article that they are Sata6G? Cause Sata6G is Sata III..
or is he not saying that they are... maybe i misread his convoluted attempt at wit?

You probably meant that enterprise solid state drives aren't typically your forte.

[groovedafied Posted Apr 27th 2010 5:52AM]

hello royalties ^_^

[DanH Posted Apr 27th 2010 9:35AM]

Why does engadget always measure SSD quality by sequential read and write speeds? You're a gadget blog, guys, try harder.

[LebanonJon Posted Apr 27th 2010 12:25PM]

btw enterprise ssds are more expensive and reliable not only because of slc but because they have to have supercaps in them for power outages (least the ones we bought at Sun)
