Post Your SSD Benchmarks!

Hi folks, with the growing options and falling prices of solid state drives, I want to compile a convenient, consistent, and comprehensive list of SSD benchmarks, preferably in a single package like an Excel file.

I have been looking to replace a number of conventional drives, but it is hard to find useful numbers on drives other than expensive, high-performance Intel, Mtron, Samsung, drives. Especially difficult to fine for cheaper, more obscure drives are figures on the ever-important random writes. I understand that there are good benchmarks in the New SSD Thread, but apart from the drives tested in the first post (which are definitely not representative of the entire market), the benchmarks are far apart, few, and inconsistent.

So I'm asking that owners of solid state drives (and alternatives like Compact Flash) post their drive model ( please be as specific as possible) and benchmarks. My preferred benchmark is crystaldiskmark since it is easy to use, easy to read, and tests random reads and random writes (HDTune only tests sequential reads and random access, ATTO numbers always seem to be a bit high to me, and few people understand how to interpret or read IOMeter), but the more merrier. Also feel free to post any comments about your drive - does it stutter, corrupt data, etc.

If mods think that this thread is too similar to the New SSD Thread, feel free to close.

So I'll start:

Gee folks, seven people with SSDs and no one wants to post a benchmark. I thought this was a good idea, but I guess not...

 

Gee, folks? People have lives -- they might not have had the chance or time to see this thread yet. Best wait a few days before moaning again.

 

Lol. Here is a bench of my year old Super Talent. MLC version from Super Talent MX drive series.

 

Mine are attached, also for a Super Talent MX 60GB V2. The crystalmark kinda sucked, I was still tweaking the system at the time so I'll redo it and post it later.

 

Is this from the first-gen MX series? Do you have a CrystalDiskMark?

 

First gen I think its serial number is FTM20GK25H MasterDrive MX 120/40 sec max R/W. I don't have crystal mark but will try to post scores tonight around uni work.

 

Here are the crystal marks of my G.skill 256 GB SSD. http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=208242&page=229

It's post number 2285.

 

Here is the crystal mark. Looks like its a bit faster at reading but slower at writing than the 60GB v2 mx supertalent above.

 

Are those four different runs with four different settings, or four different runs for consistency's sake?

EDIT: I see it, never mind.

 

God that G-skill owns.

 

You know you can flash a Gen 1 to the V2 firmware right? Only issue is it reformats the drive to do it.

 

I didn't! Reformatting could be a slight issue though
Does it bring a noticeable performance increase?

 

Should bring your write speeds up to at least where mine are. It basically turns a V1 into a V2 with the higher write speeds (they advertise like 80mb/s but clearly I'm not getting that and those specs are almost always inflated). My drive was already a V2 firmware when I got it, but it sounds like it does add some performance on V1s.

you'd want the GK firmware since you have a GK drive. There's a manual about how it works etc as well on that page.

 

Thanks. May come in handy
