Corsair Force F120 SSDPureOverclock, July 2010 "The F120 manages to produce excellent small file and random write performance that is truly impressive, and that is exactly the type of speed you want in a drive running your operating system and applications. " "The SandForce controller appears to be performing very well through this battery of tests [HDTune Pro] as well." "Wow. The Force F120 is so far ahead of the Indilinx-based SSDs that it's almost embarassing. ” "...the small file 4K read results are very good but the 4K Write speeds are outstanding, far higher than the Indilinx SSDs we've seen."

RunCore Pro V 100GB SandForce SF-1200 SSDTweak Town, June 2010 "The SandForce SF-1200 controller has already been proven to give users great access performance and the RunCore Pro V follows the same path... " "...the SandForce SF-1200 has been dominant in many of the tests and the Application Loading test that most of us want to see very high numbers in the SandForce drives deliver the best results in this capacity class.” "When it comes to performance, the RunCore Pro V can be considered one of the fastest drives on the market, but the same can be said about a handful of Team SandForce products..."

OCZ Vertex 2 100GBPureOverclock, May 2010 "Wow. That, my friends, is called a Grand Slam. Here we see that the Vertex 2 utterly crushes the competition in both the Read and Write departments, a huge increase over the Indlinx-based SSDs. " " ...typically the Write speeds are considerably lower, but not with the SandForce Vertex 2. ” "The SandForce controller appears to be performing far beyond the Indilinx-based drives with the small files." "The performance is simply jaw-dropping, and while the write speeds easily surpass any previous drive to date, it is the small file and random write performance that is truly impressive."

OCZ Vertex 2 E Series 120GB SSD Exclusive ReviewTweak Town, May 2010 "Both versions of the drive perform at the same level, as fast as anything else with a SandForce SF-1200 controller. " "When compared to the other next generation SSD on the market, the Crucial RealSSD C300 128GB, we felt the Vertex 2 E is the way to go.” "The server tests belong to the SandForce drives and they are even faster than the purpose built Intel X25-E enterprise products."

OCZ Vertex Series 2 SSD 100GBThe Guru of 3D, May 2010 "Now with Random IO 4KB WRITE performance the ball changes completely ... this is EXACTLY where the SandForce controllers kick massive ass, Random IO writes." "And again look at the tremendous increase in small file operation performance. That's more than double of Indilinx based products." "The most shocking results we see however are in PCMark Vantage….. That's where SandForce really shines -- high load productivity."

A-DATA S599 100GB SandForce SF-1200 SSDTweak Town, March 2010 "The write access test shows that the A-DATA S599 100GB drive is able to outperform the latest firmware Indilinx Barefoot drives and the Crucial C300." "...the S599 comes out on top against the fastest consumer drives in the world." "...I am comfortable saying that when paired with Intel’s latest SATA drivers the SandForce SF-1200 is the fastest consumer chipset currently available to consumers for general Windows tasks.”

Corsair Force Series F100 100GB SSD Featuring the SandForce 1200Tweak Town, March 2010 "The Crucial C300 couldn’t keep up with the write speeds of the Corsair Force." "...the Corsair Force with the SF-1200 controller is able to easily outperform the Indilinx Barefoot products and even compete with the higher priced Marvell SATA 6G Crucial RealSSD C300 in many benchmarks." "...the SF-1200 is one of the fastest drives we have ever tested, offers more speed than the Intel X25-M G2 and also offers 20GB more capacity than the X25-M.”

OCZ Vertex Limited Edition, SandForce Powered SSDHotHardware, March 2010 "...the OCZ Vertex LE puts up the fastest scores in this benchmark segment, that we've seen with any standard 3Gbps SATA SSD to date." "It was damn impressive to see the Vertex LE do as well as it did in this test run and we think it's a clear indication of how well the drive will do in a real end user application usage model."

OCZ’s Vertex Limited Edition ReviewAnandTech, February 2010 "...the Vertex Limited Edition is fast. Easily faster than the SSD posterchild Intel’s X25-M, across the board." "Random read and write performance is spectacular, regardless of OS or partition alignment. Under Windows 7, the Vertex LE can randomly write data in 4KB at 162.2MB/s. That’s faster than Intel’s X25-M G2 can write sequentially. " .gif)

OCZ Vertex LE 100GB SSD ReviewPC Perspective, February 2010 "PROS: Excellent IOPS performance, regardless of usage pattern; Excellent resistance to fragmentation-over-time effects; Class-leading write speeds (even surpassing 6Gb/sec SATA offerings)." "While the LE dropped some of the enterprise level features present in the Vertex 2 Pro, it still performed extremely well throughout our test suite, turning in staggering write speeds that would even leave SLC based units in the dust." .gif)
