After publishing SSD Evaluation List in 1H2009, we continue to test the performance of new generation SSDs in 1H2010. The number of SSD products and makers has far exceeded that of last time. We have classified them into 64GB and 128 GB groups based on storage capacity. Moreover, we have divided SSD groups based on controller ICs for evaluation and compared the differences between SSDs using SLC and MLC NAND flash.
