Some HD Tach love

We beat the drives up by running the full HD Tach read/write test as the first benchmark. The application forces the drives to use any available performance-restoring features - TRIM, BCG - to bring the SSDs back up the near-new specification.


Putting the SATA 6Gb/s interface to good use with respect to sequential writing speeds, the Crucial C300 256GB trounces the competition.


It's also competitive for sequential writes. Look at the comparison Intel X25-M G2 and it's clear that the chip giant is hamstringing performance.
