Visiontek GoDrive 60GB and Racer Series 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.

AS SSD only deals with incompressible data, so we knew beforehand that the GoDrive 60GB would suffer. It did, coming near the bottom of this chart. The write test result is actually better than other drives such as the Intel 510 120GB and the OCZ Octane 512GB, but it suffers in read test.

The Racer Series 120GB drive performs much better, due to the high grade Toshiba memory inside the unit. It performs well, falling a little short of the Chronos 240GB drive which we reviewed earlier this week.

Above, a series of results from some of the competing drives we have tested in the last couple of months.
