Corsair Performance Pro 256GB SSD Review

Crystalmark is a useful benchmark to measure theoretical performance levels of hard drives and SSD’s. We are using V3.0.1 x64.

As we had hoped, the incompressible data performance is brilliant, outperforming the Sandforce 2281 powered drives in this specific test and placing the drive right at the top of the performance chart.

Sequential performance isn't quite as good as the 2281 drives, but it would be difficult to tell the difference in the real world.

As we do with all our SSD reviews, we enabled the ‘compressible' data mode, called ‘0x00'. Performance remains around the same level, highlighting that this controller delivers in both modes.

Above some compares with other leading drives released in recent months.
