G.Skill Phoenix Pro 60GB 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 Phoenix Pro drive performed the best in both the read and write tests, although all 3 drives were very close.  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.

Once again very respectable results here, compared to the other SandForce-based drives.  There is also a Copy Benchmark built in to the software. Here are our results from that test as well.
