Abstract: Solid State Drives based on the Indilinx controller have been a force to be reckoned with in the marketplace. These drives are extremely fast, do not stutter, have great support, and have made SSD technology far more accessible to the masses. The size ...
While there may not be much difference between this drive and the OCZ Vertex or the Super Talent UltraDrive, it doesn’t stop the Crucial M225 from being the fastest drive we’ve reviewed to date. By waiting until the market matured, Crucial was...
The good news is that none of the 12 SSDs we reviewed left a bad impression. Only one product, the Cavalry Pelican SSD, failed to reach the performance level we’d expect from modern drives (200+ MB/s reads for desktop/mobile type SSDs). Every other...

Metal case is heavier and less durable than plastic, Lacks integrated USB 2.0 MiniB data connection, Expensive enthusiastlevel product, No public firmware updates available
Benchmark Reviews begins each conclusion with a short summary for each of the areas we rate. The first is product presentation, which takes packaging into consideration to the extent that it provides adequate packing material and delivers important con...
Although the second generation Intel X25-M SSDs are here, well sort of, we still feel the Indilinx Barefoot SSDs have a lot to offer. The Crucial M225 has once again proven this, as it delivered stellar performance, and although it may not be as quick ...
