For testing, the drives are all wiped and reset to factory settings by HDDerase V4. We try to use free programs and some real world testing so you can compare our findings against your own system.
This is a good way to measure potential upgrade benefits.

All our results were achieved by running each test five times with every configuration this ensures that any glitches are removed from the results. Trim is confirmed as running by typing fsutil behavior query disabledeletenotify into the command line. A response of disabledeletenotify =0 confirms TRIM is active.
Impressive bundle, price isn’t bad for the size. Will they be releasing a 128GB? Obviously I would expect so.
Excellent, although they are all so good, its really down to the best deal. This one seems actually very competitive.
OCUK dont seem to have the bundle with theirs though? unless its listed badly.
First time ive ever seen a company give away a screwdriver, cool idea.
How much cheaper is the non bundle deal version?
They put a lot of work into the bundle. I like that software, I bought it last year and its great for switching out drives.
For those of us with a tighter budget, the Kingston HyperX 120GB 2.5″ SATA-3 Solid State Drive: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HD-017-KS&groupid=701&catid=14&subcat=1427
Thanks fisshy, thats much more realistic. for me anyway.
I like their products, good to see them moving out of the value sector in with the big players like OCZ.
this will drop to under £400 for christmas., probably £370.
Its too muich for me, but power users will probably buy 2 for raid 0. I think kingston are trying hard to get rid of their stuffy appearance and its working.
SOmeone else said it, but it is all about price in this sector. they are all very close as can be seen, so the best deal is the one id go for.
IOMeter results would have been interesting, too, given that Kingston claims the highes IOPS values of any of these sandforce drives.
