Manufacturers reduce the price of SSD configuration after the withdrawal of the model on the market Bashny.Net

Manufacturers SSD-drives Kingston, OCZ and PNY caught in ugly practice менять specification devices after they enter the market. The scheme is simple: the model receives positive reviews in the media and high test scores, and then reduce the price of packaging - and refer customers cheaper products degraded.

The first difference is the company Kingston, which was first released V300 SSD drive with synchronous flash memory (model V300 120S), but eventually replace it with a cheaper asynchronous NAND (model V300 120A).

Kingston followed the example of the company OCZ Technology with one of the older models SSD.

Now the bad list should bring the company and PNY. Initially, observers хвалили performance drives PNY Optima, equipped controller Silicon Motion.

But it turned out that Silicon Motion controllers equipped with only a fraction of drives. Some are equipped with controllers SandForce.

PNY company assures that SandForce is set to a smaller part of the production, these drives "correspond to the declared minimum performance", and in some tests even surpass Silicon Motion. Nevertheless, some users indicate lower performance compared to tests published in the media. The slogan of "the declared minimum performance" - a cunning marketing technique when measured results in specially selected synthetic benchmarks.

They say that the same practice for cheaper equipment exists in the automotive industry and is called деконтентинг.

Some food manufacturers are also seen in the reduction of weight / volume of the goods without changing the price.
