Visiontek GoDrive 60GB and Racer Series 120GB SSD Review

The Racer Series 120GB drive ships in a similar box to the GoDrive. A very attractive little box. Visiontek offer a 3 year warranty with the product.

The inner box pulls out into a gatefold presentation. This product ships with a 3.5 inch bay adapter and mounting screws. Visiontek include a little leaflet which details their ‘universal SSD installation kit'.

The Racer Series chassis is identical to the GoDrive, finished in a dark grey metallic paint. The product title and capacity is highlighted on the front. The drive measures 93mm (D) x 69 mm (W) x 101mm (H).

The Sandforce 2281 controller is on one side of the PCB – titled ‘SF-2281VB1-SDC'. No NAND memory is present on this side, reserved for 240GB and 480GB capacities. The other side is populated with high grade, expensive 24nm Toshiba Toggle MLC NAND flash memory. This Toshiba memory is a proven performer with both incompressible and compressible data.

This particular drive is rated at a maximum of 555 MB/s read and 520 MB/s write speeds.
