Kingston SSDNow V+200 90GB Review

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

4K QD32 performance is far from the best we have seen, however it is still hugely improved over any mechanical drive on the market. As expected incompressible performance from the drive isn't that good, especially when compared against competitor controllers such as the Indilinx Everest.

We then enabled the ‘compressible' data mode in CrystalDiskMark, called ‘0x00'. The performance gains are huge, with sequential drive performance increasing to 507 MB/s read and 489 MB/s write, from 211 MB/s read and 118 MB/s write. 4KQD32 performance also increases by a huge percentage, over 212% more with the write test for instance.

Above, some included compares from other leading solid state drives which we have reviewed in recent months.
