AS SSD
Contents
As you will have gathered from the previous page, we measured the performance of each drive using four different programs: AS SSD, CrystalDiskMark, HD Tune, and ATTO Disk Benchmark. We will be looking at the test results from each program in the order they appear in the list above. 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. We used the default configuration in AS SSD for our tests.
In the sequential read test, the Patriot Wildfire exhibited a similar level of performance to the Corsair Force GT but performed 148% better than the Force 3. In the sequential write test, the Patriot Wildfire performed 35% better than the Force GT and 62% better than the Force 3.
The Patriot Wildfire beat the Corsair Force 3 by 6% in the read test but was still beaten by the Force GT which achieved 5% better performance. In the write test, all three drives exhibited a similar level of performance.
In the access time read test, the Patriot Wildfire exhibited a similar level of performance to both the Corsair Force 3 and Force GT. In the access time write test, the Corsair Force GT outperformed the Patriot Wildfire by 13% which, in turn, outperformed the Corsair Force 3 by 5 percent.
