It's live but I haven't been able to figure out how to add to it manually.
Everyone can add themselves for now.

Thank you guys - I could throw in a couple more benches that some review sites are just starting to use now..
And I'm evaluating a couple of SSDs (Mushkin Chronos) in RAID right now with 1GB/sec sequential writes/reads, but am not sure if I can really complete a review on it due to severe time constraints.

i am writing to the tech sites this week. It looks like we can add them to our affiliate news via email. Don't forget to send the images also.
i am working on Ivy's 4.9GHz. The ECS MB also gets 4.8 easily enough.

I ran PCMark 7 but the results are abysmal.. so I'm just sticking with what I've tested so far.. Intel's NAS toolkit is a no-go too (outdated anyways- Xbitlabs customized it for their reviews anyways). I was going to try out LegitReview's method of testing file transfer speeds but I'm outta time.
Sorry - I just didn't have the time to thoroughly evaluate these drives - the performance with incompressible data plain sucks even though it has 90K IOPs and around 500MB/s read/write speeds per drive (1GB in RAID). And I think that the TRIM support does not work properly under RAID 0 yet (Intel isn't clear about really supporting it under RAID...

(Request permission to add the Editor's Choice award:
EDITORsCHOICE IMAGE
Pros:
Massive 2 Terabytes of storage at 7200rpm
Cheap and affordable
3 years warranty
confirmed to have 64MB cache, despite reports of 32MB cache
three 667GB platters, for fast sequential reads/writes
Cons:
Not an SSD with lightning fast IOPS
Still below average access times for 7200rpm drives, almost as bad seek times as most 5400rpm drives
