Changing Hard Drive in a Melco

[GreenMtnGringo]

This link discusses the differences between the Crucial BX100 SSD's that Simon installed in his Melco and other Crucial SSD models:

These two paragraphs in particular caught my eye:

"Now first thing you need to know is that unlike the rest of the Crucial Mxxx SSD family, BX100 isn’t paired with a Marvell controller.

Instead we have a relatively new, less familiar 4-channel SM2246EN controller manufactured by Silicon Motion at the heart of the drive. If anyone knows, this controller has presented itself before in ADATA SP610 solid state drive and so far it has shown to be the better alternate option of the older Sandforce-2281. Specs wise: the SM2246EN has higher IOPS, smaller packaging and better optimization for an array of different NAND technologies from different manufacturers."

Perhaps the Silicon Motion SM2246EN controller is the 'secret sauce' that makes the Crucial BX100 sound superior to other Crucial SSD's. I wonder if there are any current SSD models from any manufacturer which use the SM2246EN or its lineal descendants?
