Patriot Memory 64GB Torqx SSD
Jul 10th, 2009 | By SimonSisoft Sandra – File System
Another common benchmarking program, we have SiSoft Sandra File System Benchmark. The File System Benchmark gives us a quick glance at the overall performance and whether we have a new or full drive, the performance is both consistent and miles ahead of the JMicron SSD or conventional platter hard drives.
For the first time we actually see the Torqx take a hit when in performance. The Random Write is a full 70MB/s slower than its G.Skill counterpart. The sequential write is also only a third of its Indilinx counterparts.
SiSoft Sandra – Physical Disk
The Physical Disk Benchmark benchmarks the hard disks and not the file system, meaning the graph below compares the performance of the physical disk to the storage adapter, unlike the SiSoft Sandra File System benchmarks which shows performance between the file system itself and the adapter.
We can see that the Indilinx drives are remarkably similar, the full Torqx comes in at the same index speed as a brand new 30GB OCZ Vertex!
HD Tune
HD Tune is another hard disk utility to determine the performance of your drive. HD Tune runs a few tests to provide a transfer rate (minimum, maximum and average). It also trends the performance through the entire disk and gives you the access time, burst rate and CPU usage.
New Drive
Full Drive
There is a pretty negligible performance difference between the new and full drive. The average is still in the 200+MB/s range. Once the drive is full, the biggest performance difference I can see is the increase in CPU load. We jumped from 3.5% to 27.4!
HD Tach
HD Tach is a low level hardware benchmark for random access read and writes. The performance numbers are quite similar to HD Tune.
New Drive
Full Drive
Again the numbers are similar but this time we don’t see a significant jump in CPU utilization.
The power graph doesn’t seem to be right on page 4. Can the power really be 200 watts? Or was it 2.xx watts? Also, I would imagine the idle power consumption differs greatly from the loaded power consumption for SSD drives and not so much for magnetic drives. But I don’t see it here. Am I missing something?
The power reading for the the PSU, not just the hard drive. The numbers reported are from my power meter.
here are some gskill falcon 64gb (new) facts
look at how much smoother the falcon is….
