The Mushkin Chronos Deluxe 120GB ships in a lovely green and black package with the product highlighted behind a clear plastic protective cover.
Inside is a 3.5 inch adapter bay, a support call number (which is a US number) and some mounting screws.
The chassis is metal, finished in dark grey. the front sticker contains all the relevant information, including capacity. This is a 120GB model, although there are also 60GB, 240GB and 480GB versions available.
The Sandforce 2281 controller can be seen in the image above left (marked ‘SF-2281VB1-SDC'). This specific drive uses high grade 3Xnm Toshiba Toggle Mode NAND. This is high performance NAND memory which should give fantastic performance with both incompressible and compressible data.
Excellent price for the 240GB drive, under 150 is excellent. why the sudden drop in price for all SSDs lately?
So many sandforce drives out now, id just go for the cheapest. which right now seems to be the 240GB on OCUK for £139.
thats a detailed review. I think id go for the vertex 4, but I noticed the 128GB drive is slower than the 512gb you reviewed a while ago. I dont think that was pointed out too clearly.
