It uses a SF-1200 controller and it's 120GB so it'll be between the OCZ Agility 2 I linked above, and the OCZ Vertex 2 (http://www.anandtech.com/show/3681/o...f1200-reviewed).. There's different versions of firmware that Sandforce (the company making the SF-1200) are giving to manufacturers so while both the Agility 2 and the Vertex 2 (and the Gskill drive) use the SF-1200, they'll have different ratings for IOPS.

From what I'm reading this drive has the same high IOPS firmware that the Vertex 2 does, so it should be the same as the Vertex 2 in terms of performance, which means it'll be one of the best drives out there.

And the Vertex 2 has a mail-in rebate where this doesn't!
