Benchmark: ATTO
Own up - who just placed an order for two Force Series F80 drives?
Corsair's SSDs in a RAID 0 configuration are of course blazing fast when it comes to sequential data transfer; and a single F80 isn't bad either, returning very impressive read and write speeds of 285.6MB/s and 274.5MB/s, respectively.
That's almost exactly what Corsair says on the tin.
Crucial's 64GB RealSSD C300 - powered by a Marvell controller - offers stunning read performance, but the way in which the controller interfaces with the drive's NAND chips results in lacklustre write performance.
The surprise package is of course the Samsung hard disks in a RAID 0 configuration. The 2TB array offers better sequential read and write performance than a single Corsair F80 SSD, and the two-disk solution costs half the price.
Fortunately for SSDs, performance isn't as simple as sequential data transfer.
