The SSD series has been developed alongside a Marvel controller tied to SanDisk NAND flash memory, it is amongst the fastest drives we have ever tested.

I'm sorry if I missed an explanation, but why exactly does the 120GB struggle with write speeds?

Because 1/2 the output elements gives half the bandwidth.
There is almost no difference between 240GB and 480GB because the bus is already saturated at 240GB.

Wow, they look really good!
A bit let down on write speed, but as you said, at that speed it matters little for most uses, and read speeds are top notch.
