They combine the best with the worst
. They use the Indilinix chip as the drive's controller and the JMicron implementation to deliver the RAID 0 setup. Ok ... as just a RAID controller, the JMicron chip will probably do a good job but then, why is the 120 GB version 450$ ? They've made drives with 3 x JMicron chips that would cost less than 260$ ... are the 2 Indilinix chips so expensive? Something is not right here ... Sure, maybe they'll have stellar performance and there would be a price premium but how much? 50% is quite a lot ... Although maybe when these drives hit the market, the prices of the other drives will go lower and that's a good thing.
