Show us your SSD performance 2

Brink, not that it matters, it's still aligned right, but how did you get that alignment?. It is ususally either 1024 or if you have the 100MB partition it's 103424.

Dayam fast Shawn.

Do you have all these in one system?

I'm also curious on the alignment.

This OCZ Vector is definitely on my shopping list. Just waiting for a Newegg sale. My 60GB M4 is getting a little tight now that I have also Windows 8 running on it in virtual.

It's the partitions installed for a UEFI GPT OS installation.

Here is an interesting collection of data measuring the top SSDs. The Vector and the 840 pro seem to be top dog. I wonder why they did not include the M4.

There was certainly a problem with the Plextor. That model may have been defunct. Also they compared 512GB models with 256GB models which is not quite fair. The bigger models are usually a bit faster anyhow.

The M4's don't have the write speeds of the others mentioned. However, as an OS drive, I've never seen that bother anyone, certainly not me. The read speeds are comparable.
