I'm working on the Phoenix review as we speak, G.Skill is releasing the Phoenix Pro.

The Phonix Pro manages an impressive 285MB/s and 275MB/s when reading and writing, respectively. Such transfer rates are possible because of a custom firmware and the very popular SandForce SF-1200 SSD controller. Essentially the most widespread among solid state drives, this controller enables 4KB random writing performance of up to 50,000 IOPS. This comes in addition to TRIM support.

The G.Skill Phoenix Pro SSD is made out of MLC (multi-level cell) NAND Flash memory chips and will, at the very least, come in a 120GB version sometime this month.
