This is the third SC300 drive we have tested from SK hynix, and it is the largest and fastest of the three. The SC300 512GB is an excellent all round performer, delivering stellar, stable results with both compressible and incompressible data work loads.
The SK hynix SC300 512GB drive will saturate the SATA III interface when it comes to sequential read performance, and sequential write performance is just shy of 500 MB/s. In real world terms, there may be other solid state drives that deliver slightly superior write performance however IOPS performance from this drive is right at the top within what we would consider the ‘budget' sector.
You can buy the SK hynix Canvas SC300 512GB from Amazon for £134.99 inc vat. At this price point it really is a drive you won't want to ignore when making a final shortlist.

Pros:
- Sk hynix controller is equally good with incompressible and compressible data.
- stellar IOPS performance.
- fantastic chassis design.
- good warranty terms.
Cons:
- The more widely known Samsung 850 EVO 500GB is the same price.
Kitguru says: The SC300 512GB is a capable, balanced and well designed Solid State Drive and the fastest drive we have tested in this specific range. At £134.99 it should be at the top of a final shortlist.
Why only “Synthetic tests” ?? Synthetic test is almost meaningless. Real world performance test is a must to get an idea about performance of SSDs.
so i can access my extensive hentai collection faster.
I would like to test out how a Dual Boot would react boot access wise with Windows 10 and Linux and how apps would take to a SSD. I feel that bench testing such type of devices is an excellent way to improve upon the next model up for performance and durability and lifespan. That’s why I think I would be a excellent choice to test and review what seems to be something of an excellent piece of hardware.
I’d love to try my hand at giving a product review, and see what the experts at Kitguru have to say about said product review.
i would LOVE to test it with my project using adobe CS6 suite. and some COD and BF games too
Wow! would really love the chance to review this.
It would be great for my new build. I would use it as the boot drive. My build will have an Intel i75820K CPU on a Gigabyte GA_X99-UD4 mo/bo with a Gigabyte GTX 970 GPU. I would like to see how your SSD can handle all of the Autodesk graphics programs I use.
Going to build a website soon. It will my pleasure, if I can get a unit for review
