Those results preserves the access time with only 0.2 ms, making this model very competitive even compared to the Intel X25-M or the reference, the Intel X25-E. All have in common to use MLC memory chips.
However, as most of the entry-level SSDs, the SDD G.Skill Titan uses the JMicron memory controller which lacks cache memory. As a consequence, performance levels drop significantly when the controller has to manage multiple access/request. The fact that it holds 2 controllers decrease the bottleneck effect of multiple tasks, when compared to similar SSD, but it still exists. With a target price of 499 USD for 256 GB, this SSD seems to be built for success, and it demonstrate that MLC might be more promising than expected by some analysts.
