PNY introduced the fourth generation of its professional SSD series with capacities of 120 GB, 240 GB and 480 GB.
The 2.5-inch drives use SandForce SF 2281 (120 GB, 240 GB) and SF 2282 (480 GB) controllers and Intel-manufactured MLC flash memory chips. According to the manufacturer, all drives are rated at 60,000 IOPS and deliver a maximum read performance of 550 MB/s and a write performance of up to 520 MB/s via a 6G SATA III interface.
The drive is targeted at the professional segment, but is marketed toward enthusiast users as well. We have seen the 120 GB version for a street price of about $220 and the 240 GB model for $385. The 480 GB model is not yet available.

If only there was more news about improvements and such in SSDs. They happen, just not all too often. We hear more about other hardware.
Going from a HD to an (any reasonable) SSD as a boot drive should give one quite a nice performance boost. Do the extra few % increase to a PRO model make an actual 'noticeable' difference in day-to day usage?
Servers, Render farms etc; I can understand. But Joe Blow playing games... I don't see it.
Your kinda stating the obvious there. This lazycash and another post with a hidden URL (it's always the same one too, I check each time) seem to be the only two different spammers going around, lucky us that there aren't more. I'm surprised they even try because the vast majority of Tom's readers aren't stupid enough to fall for that crap.
