Corsair Force LS 120 GiB SSD Review

Compressible Data Test

As you will have gathered from the previous page, we measured the performance of each drive using CrystalDiskMark.

It is important to note that we connected the SSDs to a SATA-600 port on our motherboard rather than a SATA-300 port, which could cause performance limitations.

First, we set CrystalDiskMark to “All 0x00 Fill mode” to evaluate the performance of the SSD when dealing with compressible data.

In the sequential read test, the Force LS was 6.8% faster than the SSDNow V300.

In the sequential write test, the Corsair Force LS was 16% slower than the Kingston SSDNow V300.

In the read test using 512 kiB blocks, the Force LS was 5.5% faster than the SSDNow V300 120 GiB.

In write tests using 512 kiB blocks, the Corsair Force LS was 17.4% slower than the SSDNow V300 120 GiB.

In the random read test using 4 kiB blocks, the Corsair Force LS was 180% faster than the SSDNow V300.

In the random write test with 4 kiB blocks, the Force LS was 7% slower than the V300.
