A primary differentiator of SSDs today lies in the controller technology, which handles data protection as well as writing, erasing, and wear leveling. In short, an SSD's controller is responsible for a great deal of critical activity, and some controllers simply perform better--and faster--than others. Many original SSD users complained of drives that would hang or pause temporarily or simply couldn't be counted on to run smoothly for an entire computing session--issues that were blamed squarely on
controllers.

That's why you'll see many SSD manufacturers trumpeting the virtues of the controller technology they employ as much as any other feature of the drive. And not all manufacturers make their own controllers. In fact, most do not. Intel's SSD controller technology is used by several other SSD vendors. Along with new controllers from Samsung, Intel's are widely considered among the best.
