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.
The drive scores the same as the 2.5 inch performance oriented Sandforce powered 2281 drives – 22 seconds.
Solid performance, taking 18 seconds to complete the level load. This is identical to the Patriot Wildfire 240GB drive for instance.
I never even noticed that slot on the gigabyte board when you reviewed it ! thats a really good product.
only problem is I cant see it for sale ANYWHERE!
I think my asus tablet has one of those slots. and ive a terrible sandisk in it, about 80mb/s second. what an upgrade this would be……. if I could find one
would this work in an Apple macbook air? anyone know?
Dont think it would work, looks like Apple use their own style of flash drive for that product.
