Allan 'Zardon' Campbell December 20, 2011 Featured Tech Reviews, SSD Drives

PCMark 7 includes 7 PC tests for Windows 7, combining more than 25 individual workloads covering storage, computation, image and video manipulation, web browsing and gaming. Specifically designed to cover the full range of PC hardware from netbooks and tablets to notebooks and desktops, PCMark 7 offers complete PC performance testing for Windows 7 for home and business use.

The overall score of 4,980 points is quite good, but again the drive scores around 400 points less than the Marvell powered Corsair Performance Pro 256GB drive.

    Good drives, I was burned on sandforce earlier this year so wont touch them again. I think the marvell controller is the best outside sandforce for speed overall

    Yeah, most of the companies are wanting sandforce alternatives. I think hey have rushed some of the series of SF drives to market without thoroughly testing them. Corsair and OCZ both got hurt by them, so makes sense to move to other controllers. shame none of them are as fast. we need 600 MB/S / 600MB/s drives with both in and compressible files.

    I love indilinx. like samsung parts they scream quality. id buy this over any other drive on the market now. im not just chasing performance figures as there is more to a good SSD than just the highest sequential figures.

    Intel parts in this, very nice. good build, just so many options. id go for 128gb but the write performance looks terrible with that size in this series.
