Just missed it. I just picked this up at Microcenter tonight for $185 after tax. I was going to try to take it back or maybe raid 0 but too late.

The Ultra Plus has the Marvell Controller, but comes in slower than the Samsung 840 on a # of test.

You're right, TLC is ok for most people that won't use this for 3-5 years.. If you're looking to buy an expensive component of your system it's important to get the right info. I wasn't trying to TC,...

"TLC Issues" Aren't fixed, they are a physical limitation because of the way the NAND is manufactured, you're the one spreading bad information.

The controller has nothing to do with the flash memory technology.
This *IS* an MLC device, but the controller itself is orthogonal to the flash memory.

So is the main difference between the Ultra Plus and Extreme drives the controller? Ultra Plus = Marvell, Extreme = Sandforce?

The speed difference is not as important as reliability.
This has the new marvell Controller which has a good reputation.
