At the moment our SSD database is only small but over the coming months it will expand. So to analyse The Agility 3’s performance I will be comparing it against 1 x RevoDrive X2, 2 x SATAII SSDs (Kingston V+ and Corsair F40) and a traditional 3.5" Samsung Spinpoint 250GB HDD. This is actually the first SATAIII 6GBps drive we have had in for review.

The system is formatted and a fresh version of Windows is installed with just drives in place - no additional applications. Windows is then updated to the latest release. Included in the list of benchmarks are the following applications:

ATTO Disk Benchmark v2.46
AIDA64
CrystalDiskMark 3.0
Iometer
SiSoftware SANDRA
Windows 7 Boot Time Test


Test system
CPU Intel Core i5 2500K
