There's already a thread about this:

OCZ's 64GB Synapse SSD gives you 32GB of cache, the other 28GB / 32GB is used for overprovisioning, improving the life of the SSD.

The Crucial Adrenaline is their standard 64GB model restricted down to 50GB, so it sports 'only' 14GB of overprovisioning.

I expect the Synapse' performance to be much better than the Adrenaline's given the models of card they are based on.

Not much of a thread which is why I missed when looking to see if there was anything already posted

No, not much of a thread.

But if you'd posted in there then it would have become a better thread and everything would be in one place
