AS SSD is a great free tool designed just for benching Solid State Drives. It performs an array of sequential read and write tests, as well as random read and write tests with sequential access times over a portion of the drive. AS SSD includes a sub suite of benchmarks with various file pattern algorithms but this is difficult in trying to judge accurate performance figures.
Patriot's Hellfire drive sits between the other two drives we've looked at that uses a Phison PS5007-E7/Tosihiba 15nm MLC combination, Corsair's Force MP500 and PNY's CS2030. Although the read score of the three drives is pretty well matched, the Hellfire out scores both when it comes to writes.
