How it is possible that one SSD is 17 times as fast as another but costs
less? Both are 240G. Why would anyone buy the slower one (like I did
last summer)?

350 Mb per second $35

6 Gb per second $30 plus $6 for a bracket if you need one.


In the comparison list of the first one, 4 of them side by side, half
way to the bottom of the page, 2 others are the same speed as the first,
but the second one is 17 times as fast.

In a similar side-by-side comparison list on the second page, the same
thing is true. Only the PNY is so fast, and for less money. Does PNY
know something the others don't know.

I have two suggestions: 1) follow the two URLs you provided and read
carefully - there is little difference between the two advertised read
speeds and 2) note that MB and Mb are different by a factor of eight as
are GB and Gb.

Confusion between the latter two has many proud computer scientist
bragging about their Gigabyte LAN; it's really Gigabit and that's quite
different.
