Comments for SSD Prices to Halve With New JMicron Controller

@Helmore more cynically, I'd also suggest that not needing to strap two together in a RAID array (how the shortcomings of the JMF602 were tackled) should also help with cost ;)

Theres gonna be a few things JMircron needs to resolved before peoples confidence with them is restored.
1. Stuttering
2. Peformance for a new drive and also used drive. Even though solid state drives do not require defragmentation, performance does degrade over time. Meaning a fully used solid state drive will suffer some nasty performance drops. The only way to regain that performance is to use the trim utlity to free up some page space in the solid hard drive.
The newer windows will have the trim feature in it, but until now, people will require the use of the trim utility now and then to get back their peak performance.
Also remember deleting data shortens the drives life span ..... triming will shoren it's life span :x so don't do it too often.

The reason why this allows for cheaper SSDs (or this 'breakthrough') is simply the fact that this controller can utilize NAND flash build on a 32/34 nm. process. That's pretty much all there is to it.
