When it comes to SSD, controllers like SandForce, Indilinx and Intel will surely come to mind. Thus far there haven’t been many contenders, but now an expert in memory chips have arrived. Samsung has included an in-house controller for their latest Samsung 470 Series SSD. Thus far, reviews shown that the controller is quite up to par with the other few kids.

Though the speed isn’t really up to what the SATA 6Gbps can offer, but it does well in write speed besides read speed, what the other kids failed to perform in. Reviews also mentioned that performance was very consistent during the abusive period of testing. But performance comes with a price, and USD 550 isn’t cheap for a 256GB metal plate with some chips.
