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 results are impressive, falling in beside the Agility 3 240GB at 23 seconds.
The Pyro drive manages to match the Wildfire with this game load test, scoring 18 seconds.
excellent, I like the price. I wonder how much of a deal incompressible data is in real world terms however. perhaps if you are moving videos and stuff about?
Good price indeed for a 2281. Amazon shall be getting my custom this weekend.
Nice price point, under £200 is good for me, but im still trying to hang on for the ‘next best thing’ as I can only afford to upgrade a system every 24 months.
I bought their wildfire 2 weeks ago and I love it. has completely changed my system.
Word of advice to people who dont think SSD’s are worth the money. TRY ONE ! you won’t be disapointed.
