That's a little sneaky! still an awesome SSD though

Quite interesting really. Not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing though.

Seems a bit silly to me... buy a company that makes controllers for SSD and then just buy a controller from Marvell, pointless? And iirc the drives dont even outperform the M4 so they havent even improved on marvells firmware .

Atleast you know that its a reliable drive as marvell make solid controllers.

maybe they`re rebranding because the latest Indilinx offering wasnt fast/reliable enough? the experience with sandforce POS based vertex 3 would be enough for them to look for reliability this time.
