is this IOPS for SandForce 2281 controller (SSD->SATA-III), or for SATA-USB3.0 bridge (final product)?

if this is real IOPS via USB 3.0 - should be good.
my concern was - isn't it IOPS via SATA interface (from LSI SandForce 2281 specs)

I've installed 2.5" SSD into DVD-rack, if you have DVD slot it should be easy.

You need to check real life benches!

JP.
When did you start believe everything you see on you-tube. I don't happen to have one of these sticks so I can't prove this video is wrong, but I have seen bogus benches on youtube. So be advised that watching a youtube video is not a "real-world" bench mark.

As I understand it the chipset on the MB plays a significant role in the maximum transfer speed attainable. So just because a particular MB won't allow the stick to achieve it's full potential isn't a reflection on the stick. I prefer benches on anything other than a MAC because the user has insufficient control over the components in the system. i.e. you are stuck with what ever components apple puts in their systems.

Hi,

I am using Corsair Flash Voyager GT USB3 with 128Gb and all works fine. I pay for it around 90 EUR.
