I believe it's more the firmware (and pace of firmware updates) from companies making Sandforce-based drives than it is the controller. Enthusiasts can tolerate OCZ and others releasing alphas/betas in forum posts. While the G2 Intel drives may not be the performance kings anymore (or the most price-effective), I'd argue they're certainly the most stable when it comes to firmware. Have my eye on a G3 Intel drive for my laptop, where I can't really afford beta firmware updates biting me on the road. --khd _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
