The results using CrystalDiskMark:
And the results from the PCMark 7 tests:
Overall, using the SSD on a SATA 6Gb/s connection gives some very good results, especially on read speeds.
Final Thoughts
This drive is fast, very fast. It is also reasonably priced and comes with a massive 5 year warranty at a time when a lot of other manufacturers are reducing theirs.
The inclusion of Acronis to clone your existing drive was a good move and makes it very easy for those people who want to do just that.
The drive itself works great and I had no problems using it as a data drive, or installing Windows 7 on it as my primary OS drive.
Including a bracket in the pack was a really good idea as there is nothing worse that spending all that money on an SSD only to find you need to buy a bracket to fit it into your desktop!
The M3 range is available now. Pricing is as follows:
PX-128M3 (128GB) – $199.99
PX-256M3 (256GB) – $349.99
If you are in the market for a fast SSD then you really should take a close look at this one!
