The ATTO Disk Benchmark performance measurement tool is compatible with Microsoft Windows. Measure your storage systems performance with various transfer sizes and test lengths for reads and writes. Several options are available to customize your performance measurement including queue depth, overlapped I/O and even a comparison mode with the option to run continuously. Use ATTO Disk Benchmark to test any manufacturers RAID controllers, storage controllers, host adapters, hard drives and SSD drives and notice that ATTO products will consistently provide the highest level of performance to your storage.
Performance is solid, although with this sequential compressible test, the Marvell powered Performance Pro lags behind the leading Sandforce 2281 powered solid state drives.

Read a few reviews about this now, and it seems like a fantastic drive. I would opt for this or the recent samsung drives instead of sandforce, they have too many reliability concerns for my taste.
A lot of manufacturers seem to be distancing themslves a little from sandforce, OCZ etc. I think a lot of negative press surrounded the controllers and companies are looking at other units. This is very well priced. hopefully next year we see 256GB drives for under 250 quid.
Prices are slowly dropping, the ADATA 120GB is good value and this is almost as good. never owned a good SSD before, im still churning away with a shitty old 500gb HDD
My biggest concern with SSD is that they have only been doing the rounds a few years. when can we realistically start seeing failures and data corruption. The first 5 years will be the testing ground. im holding fire.
Corsair had a bad situation with their sandforce drives a while ago, moving to this controller is a wise move. Sandforce may be fast, but I wouldnt touch one with a 10 foot pole. I followed a thread on OCZ forum and Corsairs forum, a lot of people were burned badly. but at least both companies issued replacements. still, I would say logisticially they dont want a similar situation with sandforce again.
Capacity is too small. I hope that Corsair made 512 GB version.
