HyperX 3K : Drive Score : 512.4MB/s (with a maximum of 531.62MB/s) I was more curious as to the odd results so I also ran SiSoft Sandra Physical Disks Benchmark on the SSD drives and got similar results to Atto. In this test the V300 performs as expected, better than expected really as the specs say up to 450mb/s for read and write and both show results over that. So here’s the max speeds that Atto reported: The last test I ran was Atto Disk Benchmark, which is the most common test everyone uses and it’s the one that I always turn to for my testing so it’s the one that I trust the most, companies use it as well for their testing. Again got some odd results that I wasn’t expecting. So according to CrystalDiskMark the V300 isn’t that much faster than the WD mechanical drive in terms of write speeds, and the V300 is about 85mb/s faster than the WD drive for read speeds. The next test I ran was CrystalDiskMark on all three drives, the HyperX 3K, V300 and the Western Digital 750gb mechanical HDD. According to the test the HyperX is also slower than rated as well. Sure it’s a bit faster than most mechanical drives but still slow for an SSD. The first test I ran was using the benchmark called AS SSD, and as the name suggests it’s a test just for SSDs.Īccording to this test the V300 is rather slow, very slow actually which doesn’t seem right to me. I also have the Kingston HyperX 3K 240gb SSD that I tossed in for some better comparative testing, SSD vs SSD as it were. My system I’m testing on is an ASUS 797-A/USB 3.1 motherboard with an Intel Core i7 4790K CPU. The Kingston SSD was bought to replace a Western Digital 750gb Caviar Black hard drive, which for its time was rather fast.īefore I installed the drive I was curious as to how much of a difference there would really be in terms of performance so I ran some tests. There’s a just a label on the front and then the SATA connectors on the back or bottom. The SSD is fairly plain looking, but that’s fine as all the ‘magic’ happens on the inside. No packaging for the SSD, it was a bare drive purchase, I didn’t need anything else though as I know a little a bit about what I’m doing. Price: $76.99 ( from Amazon at time of review ) Because it’s made with solid-state components and has no moving parts, it’s shock-proof and withstands drops and bumps.

Kingston Digital 240GB SSDNow V300 SATA 3 2.5 Solid State Drive (SV300S37A/240G) The difference was as excepted, night and day really, but I thought I would make a quick review out of it and share the results with you. I picked up a Kingston V300 240GB SSD for a good price but I was curious as to really how much of a difference it might make going from a mechanical hard drive to the SSD. I upgraded it to a quad core CPU and doubled the ram but yet it was still too slow for her so I decided to get her an SSD which should be a drastic improvement over the mechanical drive that was in there. So my wife was complaining, as wifes do, that her computer was slow.
