I have been using HDTach for many years now and always find it is an invaluable benchmark to ascertain potential levels of performance. HD Tach is a low level hardware benchmark for random access read/write storage devices such as hard drives, removable drives (ZIP/JAZZ), flash devices, and RAID arrays. HD Tach uses custom device drivers and other low level Windows interfaces to bypass as many layers of software as possible and get as close to the physical performance of the device possible.
HD Tach tends to underscore drives which utilise drive compression although seeing an average of over 230MB/s is a healthy sign, especially when factoring in the burst rate performance.
Good drives, I have the 128gb version of this and it maintains the speed well over time.
I need to get into the SSD market, I might look at the 128gb version of this, the price looks lower than others. always a good buying incentive.
I really have a hard time buying a drive like this from a company I dont really know, its a lot of money. Corsair or OCZ seem a much better option.
What are their warranty terms? dont know much about them, cant even find a UK site
for those who dont know, ADATA make the Corsair drives. its well known outside public circles.
