Thanks to its extremely high read speed, the 80 GB OCZ RevoDrive was the fastest solid state drive in this test, followed at a distance by the 240 GB Intel 520 Series, the 120 GB OCZ Vertex 2 (E), the Corsair F90 and the 60 GB OCZ Agility 2 (E). The 30 GB Kingston SSDNow V (Gen 2) was the slowest SSD in this comparison, being less than 1/4th as fast as the OCZ RevoDrive.

 

High-End Disk WinBench 99

Note : The OCZ RevoDrive and Intel 520 Series SSDs successfully completed the test but WinMark refused to return a result. It is quite likely that their results were much higher than what WinMark was able to report.
