So who's going to be the guinea pig?

Are these just Marvell controllers, with some custom firmware, or are these truly some new controller, out of the blue, like Indilinx showed up one day, and then Sandforce?

And who is doing the validation for these controllers? Is this going to be OCZ all over again?

Couple of other sources of info on these...

Anand .. http://www.anandtech.com/show/5918/corsair-introduces-link-a-media-based-neutron-ssds

SSDREVIEW .. http://thessdreview.com/latest-buzz...usive-sata-3-controller-computex-2012-update/

There are a few new controllers being announced at Computex - Toshiba has announced one, as well as a company called Biwin (theirs is a 10 channel controller)

SSDReviews as well as Anand are posting frequently on what's new over there.

Anyone try this new Corsair with the new controller yet?

Where's the Anandtech review? Seems like Anand would be all over this.

We are still under NDA, just like everyone else.

In the reviews I have seen it beats my Samsung 830 in almost everything and quite easy I might add..

Looks good. Hope the prices are reasonable.
