It doesn’t matter how good any of the synthetic suites are, the real meat of the testing has to be under absolute real world conditions. This proves difficult as to record results we have to narrow down fluctuation. Therefore while we would say these are the most useful results to get from this review, there is always going to be a slight margin for error – its not absolutely scientific.
Firstly we installed a fresh copy of Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit Edition onto each of the drives and performed a clean update from Microsoft with all patches and security fixes. We then install a basic suite of software, such as Office, Firefox and Adobe Design, then we install AVG free antivirus. We used a digital watch for this startup and repeated the test five times for each drive – once we had these five results we averaged the results and took that for the final figure.
Results are noticeably slower than even the Vertex 2 100GB drive, by around 4 seconds.
Again, near the bottom of the performance pile, 2 seconds slower than the Corsair F100.
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.
