SSD Pny xlr8240gb upgrade vs intel oldie 330

[killster1]

Edit::: after some research i guess this is standard bench for the drive.. feel so cheated.. guess will get 840 pro for 80$? or looking at 840 evo 500gb also.. OUCH pny xlr8 pro has almost decent benches for most the tests.. but slower by far than 840 pro ;(


Pretty sure had intel 330 160gb 90% full.. vs new pny xlr8 240gb 67% full (same data) intel beats it? im confused.. sata plugs next to each other.. pny is slave. intel is running the OS..

So played with all the diff sata plugs on my pc.

So INtel beating it and being full and in use.. not upgrade at all. now will have to figure out how to easily format the data off..

Looks like it's running SATA II instead of SATA III speed.

OK ur right.. wow i feel dumb.. thought all my ports where sata III.. but here is the new pny bench on SataIII .. even worse!>? >?>?>?

damn near same shit performance and actually worse on sataIII than 2? somthings wrong maybe on my end.. 2500k @ 4.2ghz z77 extreme 4.. 8gb samsung low profile... 270x crossfire..

Looks fine. I'd move on. It probably just needs time or more data so that it can TRIM itself.

 

[killster1]

You would move on and be ok with this? just tried the other z77 sataIII ports. lil faster but confused ;( wish was way better performance. 840 pro or evo and return the pny is what looks like best option as of now.

An 840 Evo should lose to it on 4K write, but beat it on larger sizes and all reads. I'd consider an 840 Evo a flat out better SSD, personally. I try to stick to memory makers in general, with Plextor as an exception to that rule, at this point.
