SandForce presented the SF-2000 series controllers for solid state disks with native SATA 6Gbps support. The new lineup includes the SF-2500 and SF-2600 for enterprise SSDs and the SF-2300 for industrial storage solutions. Unfortunately, there's no word on a consumer version but the specifications of these chips definitely look impressive.

The company promises to deliver sequential read/write speeds of up to 500MB/s and lists random 4k read/write performance of 60,000 IOPS. The first disks based on SandForce's SF-200 are expected in Q1 2011.
