Corsair P64 64GB SSD Review

Value


The term “Value” is such an amorphous term that it truly has different meanings for different people. For some a hard drive is only as good as its performance potential, for others it is how quiet or durable it is; for others still it’s how effective it is for its cost. We here at HWC try to provide as many answers as possible for the term “Value”. Hopefully by this point in the review people looking at performance potential will have a fairly good idea of what its Value is. For the “best bang for the buck” crowd we have included a chart below showing how much a give drive costs per GB . No consideration has been made for performance, “durability” or any other extraneous factors; this is just raw performance vs. monetary cost. All prices are based on the lowest price found in our Price Comparison engine at the time of their initial review.


At only two dollars and sixteen cents per GB this drive is actually perfect from a value point of view for those of you who are looking to get their feet wet in the SSD pool but aren't willing to take the plunge with a $300 product. What is even more amazing is that we are now seeing the cost per GB of SSDs gradually making its way down towards platter-based drives. In less than a year, we wouldn't be surprised to see budget friendly SSDs beating higher-end HDDs in this chart.
