Read Transfer Performance
The throughput of 115 MB/s is a new record. It is especially interesting to see that it only drops to a minimum of 112 MB/s, while all mechanical hard drives deliver slower data transfer once you move from the faster outer sectors to the inner sectors of the rotating platters. A Western Digital VelociRaptor provides slightly better maximum transfer rates, but its minimum transfer speed drops to only 65 MB/s. While this is still a great result, it cannot compare to the flash SSDs.
Write Transfer Performance
A write speed of 120 MB/s is a result that might have been stimulated by the Adaptec controller’s cache memory. However, the data transfer diagram clearly shows that this drive maintains this high throughput.
PCMark05 Application Performance
File write performance competes with the throughput of the WD VelociRaptor, which is excellent for a flash-based hard drive. However, the Memoright drive is also 10x more expensive than the VelociRaptor.
Obviously, Mtron’s Flash SSD still is quicker when it comes to starting Windows XP. Yet, Memoright is the second fastest and more than twice as fast as any other mechanical hard drive.

At that price I will stick to my hard drives. These SSD devices have a long ways to go before the average pc user feels the need to dish out hard earned money for them.
It's good to see that SSd drives are at the point that HDD were about 10/15 years ago. Give these another 10 years (if even) and we'll be laughing about how we used to use HDD for storage.
should of tested RAID 5 as well and maybe raid 1, but i guess the numbers would of been lower mosty due to the fact the RAID card mite not be able to keep up with the SSD drives lol
i think ssd drives will not take 10 years to come top dog in the hard disk market think more like 3-5 years maybe even less
I was under the impression that SSD are limited in the number of times you can perform write operations to them. I'm sure that I read an article that said a SSDs life expectancy would severely diminish with an OS continually writing and rewriting temp files to it?
Two years max before all enthousiasts have an SSD drive in their PC's. Not to replace the HDDs, but a small one (32GB or 64GB sounds about right) just for the OS, applications and some games.
