As I've said before, in the mainstream segment it's all about price and if the MSRPs give any hint, the SP920 (along with the M550 of course) can be very competitive there. The SF3700 is supposed to bring more customization options for OEMs, so focusing the R&D resources on it and the high-end drives doesn't sound like a bad option.

With hardware under the hood shared with the Micron/Crucial M550, the ADATA Premier Pro SP920 comes into the market as a known quantity, although the performance dipped compared to same capacity M550.
