Unboxing the Samsung 64GB MLC SSD
Sure enough, this was both one of the most exciting, and the biggest anti-climaxes, I’ve had recently. I mean, this is an SSD! I can’t wait to get my hands on it! This was a steal from Novatech at £99, and is finally a decent blend of size (for and OS disc) and cost.
However, when it arrived - bah… Brown box and no branding… Sigh… Not very exciting. Guess I’m going to have to leave the excitement for the results! Should be good though, because although this is an MLC drive, it does not use the dreaded JMicron controller that has ‘blessed’ many other SSDs with a serious case of stuttering.
I’m going to stick this thing in every machine I can lay my hands on and see how it works!
