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.
AS SSD deals purely with incompressible data and the Kingston drive suffers dramatically, around the same performance levels as the Intel 510 120GB.
Some other comparisons from leading manufacturer drives, which we have tested in recent months.
sweet, going to order one later
this is a good size. 60gb was always too small, and 128gb a bit expensive. cant see this kit available anywhere however. any links to it ?
