In reply to Corsair's New Extreme SSD Line Is Blazingly Fast
sure, reporting blistering sequential read and write speeds gets the girls all wet, but in real world usage, random read/write is everything. Nobody's gotten close to Intel's X25 yet, despite how (by gadget terms) ancient that drive is.

@mikeborisov: That's not completely accurate. While the X25 drives cannot be touched in random write terms, other drives have already surpassed them (substantially) in random reads -- including one of Corsair's own.

Apparently, when you edit a comment, you can no longer embed some links.
