For testing, the drives are all wiped and reset to factory settings by HDDerase V4. We try to use free or easily available 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.
DIdnt they make blank CD’s, I swear I saw some locally….
Needs to be under £100 for it be a useful buy for people. Even those who dont have a SATA 6Gbps controller wouldn’t opt for a SATA 3GBps drive as they would want future proofing in case they moved systems in a few months.
Price is the only thing they should focus on, and thats way over the odds.
Ill pass. Might have been good 14 months ago……. they are a chinese company however, so they clearly dont have their finger on the pulse.
They will probably sell a ton of these into the enterprise market at a fraction of the price.
Wouldnt worry about it, not for sale anywhere I can see anyway!
Its a clear way to shift old stock, I can’t imagine this move would work well in China either, as I know they are pretty up to date on tech hardware. Unless they sold them into a company making a lot of laptops with SATA 3 ports, dont see them selling well. its last gen tech without a good ‘sticker’ from a leading manu such as OCZ.
SSD market is still small however, …..
Well thats more than a little disappointing. Seems they arent up to date at all.
Why not review their lastest SATA III FTM Plus SSD? As I know this FTM-25 SATA II SSD was launched around one year ago.
Kitguru spoke with Memoright after this review was published. We received our sample from a retailer and have since learned that Memoright have a new range of Solid State Drives with Sata 6Gbps performance. We hope to get one for review soon.
This product is still being sold however so its a valid review.
The SSD I used now is Memoright FTM-25 SSD 115GB. I bought it last year, so It is obviously FTM-25 is not a new product from Memoright. The performance and reliability for this SSD is quite good. I ever saw a review on Tom’s Hardware and Memoright FTM-25 got a good ranking among several SATA II SSDs, so I bought this SSD. Personally, I think it is not fair that comparing SATA II SSD with SATA III SSD.
Oh grow up. If its still being sold, and its full price, its not fair to the poor saps who could get a drive at twice the speed for almost the same price.
