Others may know better but I've used this one in the past and found it pretty good: http://www.hdtune.com/

Guys just wanted to share my experience with this SSD.

In my desktop it hasnt really been as quick as I had expected. I upgraded the BIOS to the latest version as gigabytes reason for release is that it contains improved compatibility with SSD's. All that has done is cause heaps of memory access errors (I almost sent my new HD6870 back because I thought that was the problem).

I have reverted my BIOS Back and the issues have gone away. The SSD is now in my Dell XPS Laptop, and the performance gain is far more impressive than I experienced in my desktop PC.

Just thought that might help somebody - somewhere - sometime, making some decision...




....... some .......

That is a massive difference

Does it feel much quicker?
