Patriot Pyro 120GB SSD Review

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.

This drive suffers in this test because AS SSD uses incompressible data. Sequential results are therefore lower than they would be in the real world, under normal conditions. The more expensive Patriot Wildfire handles incompressible data much better, as can be seen in the images above.
