hi, in the ‘real world copy test’, are the mp3s. jpegs and iso copied onto the evo itself, or from another drive?

Hi Wendy
This review is great. Congrats on another Myce.com SSD in-depth review of an upcoming Samsung that I am looking forward to buying. This new caching software is great, the boost it gives the SSD makes it most probably the fastest in its class, plus the fact that their are 750gb and 1TB flavors to choose from. I never would have believed this just 2 years ago, technology is so fleeting that if I blink, I miss something. What a great time to watch this industry grow and the top tier companies take control. Its fun to watch. Thanks.

Thanks for the rview. EVO looks like a great compromise between 840 and 840 Pro.

Hi Kenny , to me its looks better than the Pro Version, just because it uses TLC nand it still has an SLC nand layer and it will write a whole bunch, more than you need. I like it, especially the software feature with the magician thats gives the Ramdisc a boost.

(I’m hoping Kenny will get a few thousand of those and pass them out to his MyCE pals. I WILL test those 2Tb ones, by the way! You don’t even have to ask!)
