From the reviews, the Mushkin Enhanced Reactor seems like a very decent SSD.
http://www.anandtech.com/show/8949/mushkin-reactor-1tb-ssd-review
The drive is the
Mushkin Enhanced Reactor 2.5" 1TB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) MKNSSDRE1TB
which uses Silicon Motion SM2246EN controller and Micron 16nm MLC NAND
It seems that Mushkin Enhanced has quietly replaced that drive with the
Mushkin Enhanced Reactor 2.5" 960GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) MKNSSDRE960GB
which also uses Silicon Motion SM2246EN controller and unknown NAND.
Now, I don't imply that SSD manufacturers shouldn't make changes to their SSDs. (Maybe Micron doesn't make 16nm MCL NAND anymore. Who knows?)
That said, when the new product performs significantly worse than the old product, the new product shouldn't be silently slipped into the name of the old product.
There hasn't been many reviews of the new SSD, possibly because not many have noticed that the product has changed, but userbenchmark indicates that the new SSD is significantly worse.
