SSD performance test by DRAMeXchange: 60GB KingFast is testing winner

TAIWAN: DRAMeXchange, the research division of TrendForce, tested the mainstream products of 2.5” SSDs, including the standard SSDs with affordable prices and the high-speed SDDs, which are adopted by medium and small size companies and work stations. The categories of tested SSDs include SATA2 with 60GB and 100GB storage and latest SATA3 with over 100GB storage, which are for different members’ references.

At present, most of desktop and laptop computers are only compatible with SATA2, so the 60GB SSD, whose price ranges from $100 to $150, is a perfect choice for the consumers who want to improve computer performance with lower budget. Moreover, the cheapest SSD in this Test has exceeded traditional HDDs in read-in performance.
