G.Skill Phoenix Pro 40GB Solid State Drive Review

Testing – Sandra Physical Disks & AS SSD Benchmark
Sandra Physical Disks benchmark is built into SiSoftware’s Sandra software suite. It tests drive performance and gives you a drive score and random access time.

The read score was pretty much on par with the other drives, but they write score was much lower at only 158.33MB/s.  Our final test is the AS SSD Benchmark. This benchmark contains four synthetic as well as three practice tests. It also not only shows you the transfer speeds but also IOPS.

This test also yielded lower scores, especially in the write category.  There is also a Copy Benchmark built in to the software. Here are our results from that test as well.
