Grazing Kogan site today and I came across this.

Anyone know anything about it? How do these specs compare?
Intel NAND flash
Maximum sequential read rate of 460 Mb/s
Maximum sequential write rate of 320 Mb/s
Random Read: 70000 IOPS
Random Write: 60000 IOPS
Thanks. I'm not going to rush out and buy it, especially at that price, but I have a $100 Kogan card to use on something so I gotta start thinking. All my SSDs are Samsung at this stage. Actually now that I think about it I have a Crucial too.
Go with something more well known. I would recommend a Samsung 840 Evo. I have one in my media center and they are awesome!

Last thing you want is to lose any data.
I'd say go with something more well-known.
Samsung 840 EVO 250 GB can be found for ~$130 (even $115 recently). It's TLC, which has a shorter life on paper, but lasts quite long anyway (with decent overprovisioning). The MLC 840 Pro is a bit more, around $180.
Transcend 256 GB, around $130 again. Decent review. (supposedly the same controller the Kogan one uses, but Transcend also uses JMicron flash)
Crucial MX100 256 GB, again $130. Good review.
Intel flash is generally considered good, but I'm not sure how much I trust Kogan on this.
