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.
AS SSD only deals with incompressible data and it shows any weaknesses with particular drives. The OCZ drive is particularly strong with incompressible data and it scores in the top 5% of drives we have tested to date.
Some other comparisons from leading manufacturer drives, which we have tested in recent months.
An excellent drive, ive been waiting on one for a while now. still not stock here!
They need to lower the price a little more I think against Samsung drives to get more market share. I know a lot of people just look at the best price and buy based on that.
I would have a problem trusting OCZ. I had 2 of their sandforce powered drives fail, luckily OCUK replaced them for me, but they tend to rush things out before completely checking them. just my 2 cents
Agreed that some of them were faulty, But It is not ethical to target the controllers and we need to change the perception that all drives having SF controller would fail.
