The SSD Decoder Ring

In the process of conducting my SSD research and reviews, I have compiled a bit of a rough spreadsheet to help me sort through the mish mash of various SSD models.  A while ago it occurred to me this would be greatly helpful to our readers, so I polished it up into a more coherent and easily searchable reference.

This is largely a work in progress, and I will be continuously updating this chart as new drives are released and tested.  Feel free to bookmark this page for your future reference.  So without further delay, here is what you've all been looking for!

Since posting this chart, I have added a page to help guide you in your selection.  See page 2 of this article for the goods.
