Today G.Skill announced the new Phoenix EVO SSD, powered by the SandForce SF-1222 controller, with new 25nm flash. Just like we have seen from Corsair with the F115-A, the EVO sports a lower capacity of 115GB, which accounts for the increased over-provisioning which 25nm NAND requires. G.Skill lists 280MB/s read and 270MB/s write, which is slightly lower peak transfer speeds than the 34nm Phoenix Pro SSD (285/275).
