Initially, only a couple of companies laid the foundation for storage processors when solid state drives first arrived, now we have a broad range

of options to choose from. Intel, Samsung, JMicron, Indilinx, and Sandforce, all make SSD controllers, just to name a few. Today we're going to show you yet another new SSD based on a new controller from a long-time player in PC storage, Marvell.The Marvell 88SS9174-BJP2 controller at the heart of the Micron RealSSD C300 we're going to show you today affords the drive a feature not yet offered on any competing product--SATA III support.

This controller, in combination with some of Micron's leading-edge NAND flash, culminate in a drive that offered some of the best performance we have seen from any solid state drive to date.
