SiSoft Sandra is a benchmark tool that we use fairly regularly, it is a good all round synthetic software suite. Today we are obviously concentrating on the drive sections to ascertain the S511 and Vertex 3 performance levels.
Close results, scoring well in the Physical Disk test at 492.17 MB/s and falling down a little in the File Systems test … around 70 MB/s less than the leading OCZ Vertex 3 and ADATA S511 drives.
