Crystaldiskmark 1 Fill:
With the 1X fill setting turned on our write speeds turned up a few notches right away.
We end up with the faimilar 470-500MB/s write speed and around 500MB/s read speed like our other uncompressed data benchmarks.
Conclusion:
This drive sells for around 230$ I think at the moment, but they go on sale quite often. I suggest taking a look at sites like slickdeals, etc… for good deals.
I think the numbers speak for themselves; the drive performs excellent! It beats out older Patriot SSD with over 200MB/s on uncompressed data and 50MB/s on compressed write speed.
I have not used our older Patriot SSD to compare vs since it was so far behind performance wise and due to the excellent performance this drive got I thought it would be an idea to share the stats with you.
This drive can be compared against drives like the Samsung 830 SSD which is a tad more expensive.
Overall a good drive especially if you can get it with a decent deal like I did. Our recommendations go to this drive for a good speed and performance ratio.
Pros:
+ Performance
+ Stability
+ Price
Cons:
- None so far
