In our benchmark comparisons we already have a couple of next generation solid state drives. The RunCore Pro V uses the SandForce 1500 enterprise controller and the Crucial RealSSD has the Marvell SATA 6G controller. For pricing we are told the Pro V will cost just a little less than the Kingston SSDNow V+ 512GB drive, but that is for only 100GB of storage capacity.
The Crucial C300 hits store shelves in just a couple of days and it runs 799.00 USD for only 256GB of capacity. Based in this information, I can determine that price wise the V+ Series 512GB costs right around where I expect it to be. The V+ 256GB drive is available at Newegg for 700 USD, around 100 less than the Crucial C300. Let's take a look at the performance and see if the price vs. performance ratio fits.
ATTO Baseline Performance

ATTO is used by many disk manufacturers to determine the read and write speeds that will be presented to customers.

The ATTO test shows us what a drive is capable of doing under the best circumstances. Here we see the Kingston SSDNow runs identical numbers to what Kingston claims in their marketing material.
