LaCie Thunderbolt SSD Little Big Disk Review [Video]

AnandTech has posted a review of the Thunderbolt 240GB SSD Little Big Disk.

The site found that the SSD version was able to obtain sequential read speeds of 445.8 MB/s and sequential write speeds of 257.0 MB/s. This is far better than the mechanical version of the device which obtained sequential read speeds of 207.0 MB/s and sequential write speeds of 205.0 MB/s. The biggest improvement is actually in random reads and random writes with the SSD reading at 48.8 MB/s compared to 1.22 MB/s and writing at 27.7 MB/s compared to 0.56 MB/s.

I'm going to sound like a broken record here, but I really want lower priced Thunderbolt options. The Little Big Disk works if you're cross shopping between LaCie and Promise. In fact, viewed through those glasses, the SSD version delivers competitive bang for your buck as long as you don't need more than 240GB of capacity. Taking a step back however, the $899 pricetag is tough to deal with - particularly if you take into account capacity.
