Product Name: G.Skill Phoenix 100GB Solid State Drive
| | | Crystal DiskMark Crystal DiskMark is designed to quickly test the performance of your hard drives. Currently, the program allows to measure sequential and random read/write speeds; and allows you to set the number of tests iterations to run. We left the number of tests at 5. When all 5 tests for a given section were run Crystal DiskMark then averages out all 5 numbers to give a result for that section. Read
While the Phoenix may be slightly behind that of its predecessors (the original Falcon), but it is out front compared to all previous SandForce drives tested. So far it seems that G.Skill has not only effectively nullified OCZ’s custom firmware advantage, but is actually doing slightly better than the competition. In all three tests, from small to large this drive simply is the fastest SandForce drive we have ever tested. Write
While it is slightly behind other SandForce drives at sequential write speed and the mid size test, it does make up for this minor shortcoming by being better at the all important small file write speed.
