   With so many different companies now selling SSDs under their brand names and the amount of different controllers being used it can be quite difficult to choose a SSD I think.

   So anything that helps to differentiate one drive from another is a good thing I think.

   When I bought my 60GB OCZ Vertex 2 a couple of months ago I was looking at price primarily, then within my price range: TRIM support was a must, if performance numbers were similar (read and write speeds and IOPS) I then looked at warranty length and MTBF time.

   I went with the OCZ Vertex 2 in the end as it had great performance numbers and the best warranty in my price range from the retailer I was using.

   If these new standards of comparing SSD's are easy enough for Stan McNormalguy, then I sure hope to see some tests comparing SSD's using the methods described!

   One of the main reasons I know so much about SSD's is because I almost religiously follow up on them with Anandtech. Reason being, he's very much on top of things in terms of Controllers, Firmwares, Speed, Bugs, etc. Either way, I refuse to buy an SSD until the price comes down. At least a ratio of $1 to 1 GB.
