Test: Einzeltest: Patriot Wildfire 240GB
Zitat: While it couldn’t match the advertised performance in our tests, the Patriot Wildfire 240GB is still a very quick solid-state drive. In simple drag-racing terms – the sequential read/write tests – it could easily surpass the capabilities of the previous-gen SATA 3Gb/s interface. But note that, as with all SSDs we’ve seen that use a SandForce controller, the 559 and 508MB/s read and write figures are not really indicative of actual usage, as real data is not as perfectly compressible as that used by most benchmark programs. A good gauge of real performance throughput can be the IOPS figure, and here the Patriot Wildfire was pretty quick, faster than the comparable Plextor PX-256M2S, if only half the speed of some current competitors such as our Best Buy, the Crucial m4 SSD.
