    These drives are just dissapointing. They are quick in some situations but their random r/w is bad. If the price was more budget than mid range then it would have been fine. As it stands now, the C300s (Marvell controller also) aren't that much worse than the 510s. I will look forward to the C400 (can't be bothered with Sandforce's firmware games)

    random read write speeds have not improved at all. These drives only offer 20k IOPS which is a very important metric for pro users.
    I do testing in VMs where high IOPS figures are important

    I'm awaiting benchmarks before jumping to any conclusions
