We reviewed our first SandForce-based solid state drive about a month ago and since then the SandForce drives we have checked out have either been 120 or 128GB drives.  While these are nice drives many people still cannot afford them.  Today we will be looking at a 60GB drive that is based on the SandForce controller.  The 60GB size is perfect for most systems as you can fit most of your programs and operating system on the drive then just use a regular SATA drive for all your media and other things.  The 60GB size is also great for upgrading your laptop’s hard drive.  Let’s check out the G.Skill Phoenix Pro 60GB Solid State Drive. Special thanks to G.Skill for providing us with the Phoenix Pro 60GB Solid State Drive to review.

All three generations of high performance DDR memory (DDR, DDR2, DDR3) have their most popular speed…the speed that is a good combination of speed, stability, and compatibility with motherboards. With DDR memory it was DDR-400, with DDR2 it was DDR2-800, and with DDR3 it seems that DDR3-1600 is the norm. Of course, the memory manufacturers build memory much higher than that, to please those enthusiasts that have a real need for speed, or require a lot of headroom for CPU overclocking.
