Benchmark: AS SSD

Putting the pieces together by factoring in sequential speeds, input/output performance and access time, AS SSD gives each of our drives an overall score for uncompressed read and write performance.

G.Skill's Phoenix Pro once again delivers impressive numbers, but the 40GB drive falls short of higher-capacity SandForce-based alternatives. The drive's sub-optimal write performance is becoming a common trend, and, rather unusually, putting two 40GB Phoenix Pros together in RAID 0 does little to improve the overall write score in this benchmark.
