OWC Mercury Electra 3G MAX 960GB Review: 1TB of NAND in 2.5" Form Factor
by Kristian Vättö on October 18, 2012 1:00 AM ESTAS-SSD Incompressible Sequential Performance
The AS-SSD sequential benchmark uses incompressible data for all of its transfers. The result is a pretty big reduction in sequential write speed on SandForce based controllers, while other drives continue to work at roughly the same speed as with compressible data.
Incompressible sequential performance could be better but at least the drop isn't as bad as the random performance.

"If we go a year back in time, you had to fork off around $1000 for a 512GB SSD"It's "fork out", not "fork off". That just sounds rude. :-)

It's made in the US.adriantrances - Sunday, October 21, 2012 - link
250MB speeds + Sandforce + 1100$ + OWC = GGGood luck selling that.

How can you talk 9 pages about a SSD and not mention the z-height? Many notebook/netbook drive caddies won't fit a 9.5mm device.Kristian Vättö - Tuesday, October 23, 2012 - link
It's 9.5mm like most 2.5" drives are. Usually I don't mention the height unless it's thinner (or thicker) than the usual 9.5mm. Most laptops use 2.5" 9.5mm drives, although some thinner models have started to adopt 7mm drives (especially Ultrabooks and other SSD only laptops).
