G.Skill announced it's upcoming FALCON series SATA II SSD recently -- with impressive performance numbers to rival OCZ's VERTEX which also uses the Indilinx controller. No surprise since we're simply hitting a point where the chip sets inside a solid-state disk will largely determine core benchmarks, and other aspects of Firmware and amound of onboard cache will be marginally incremental in tweaking SSD thruput #'s only to a minor degree.

All things being relatively equal, we'll rapidly hit a point in the SSD market where given tiers of SSD's will start seeing rather predictable performance. As SSD's commoditize, PRICE, WARRANTY, TECH SUPPORT and the perceived value of the BRAND in the consumer market to become the differentiators as the raw numbers start to equalize.
