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.
The Chronos 240GB suffers a little with the sequential read test, due to the fact this benchmark suite only uses incompressible data. The 120GB Chronos Deluxe scores much better, averaging 474 MB/s. The overall results for both drives are around the mid table point.
Above, a series of results from some of the competing drives we have tested in the last couple of months.
Excellent price for the 240GB drive, under 150 is excellent. why the sudden drop in price for all SSDs lately?
So many sandforce drives out now, id just go for the cheapest. which right now seems to be the 240GB on OCUK for £139.
thats a detailed review. I think id go for the vertex 4, but I noticed the 128GB drive is slower than the 512gb you reviewed a while ago. I dont think that was pointed out too clearly.
