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.
The overall scores with the latest firmware have increased the overall write score to 155, from 122. Looking at the compare above, we can see that sequential performance has dropped in both read and write tests, but that the 4k-64Thrd test has increased by around 66 percent from 49.43 MB/s to 82.02 MB/s.
Some other comparisons from leading manufacturer drives, which we have tested in recent months.
Good drives, I actually bought a 128gb version in january. been flautless for me.
It is a good point that sandforce are known to fail, even if they are very quick. I know a lot of people on forums who got burned with OCZ and corsair branded sandforce drives.
I still think its a bad time to buy an SSD, later this year or 2013 will have the next generation which will completely saturate 6 Gbps when compressed and incompressed
