Yea, but it's less than the difference than a fan - plug another in for cooling and there goes your "power saving". Not to mention it's probably the difference too between a "good" core on your graphics card/CPU and a leakier one since two are never equal.
I would like to see some realwold writing speed tests. For example "time to install windows" (some unattended version) or "time to install a game" (with small and large files).
Great review, you have cemented my reasons for not buying into this technology and saving my loads of money :)
From the performance / cost view the only clear winner in this review is the Samsung F1 (7p per GB), its going to take years for SSD's to catch up on the clear value for money of these drives, but hopefully I will be proved wrong.

You've missed the point of performance storage versus mass storage. The two are not directly comparable on a £/GB basis because in that instance mass storage will win, however if we are looking at MB/s then performance storage will win - both dont tell the full story.

We don't post rate reviews, but it would probably compare to the G.Skill, however - are you going to keep an SSD 10 years or would you prefer regular performance updates in the meantime?
