Just about to replace my aging SSD and would like to know the best 128gb drive for under £200?

This looks like it will be, but I'm waiting for reviews.

Also, make sure you have a SATA 6Gbps port to make full use out of a drive like this.

May I ask what SSD you are coming from?

suppose I had better wait, looks like a huge increase in write speeds. Have these been tested / reviewed?

Not yet as far as I know. I usually wait for the Anandtech review before making up my mind on SSDs, he usually gets them in a bit before launch and does extremely thorough tests on them.

Will this achieve max read/write speeds on my board?

Does it matter that it uses the Sandforce drivers and my 6gb/s motherboard has a Marvell controller?
