We use Futuremark’s PCMark Vantage in many of our system reviews and we felt that it was worth an inclusion in this review. It is still a synthetic suite, but it uses many real world characteristics to try and judge overall performance levels. We are using the 64 bit version of the HDD Suite for this testing. We also compare against a Samsung F1 1TB drive on this page.
A PCMark score is a measure of your computer’s performance across a variety of common tasks such as viewing and editing photos, video, music and other media, gaming, communications, productivity and security. From desktops and laptops to workstations and gaming rigs, by comparing your PCMark Vantage score with other similar systems you can find the hardware and software bottlenecks that stop you getting more from your PC.
Superb results from the drive, outperforming everything we have reviewed to date in some of the tests.
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.
