Kingston HyperX Fury 240GB Solid State Drive Review

AS SSD
The AS SSD software determines the performance of Solid State Drives (SSD). The tool contains five synthetic and three practice tests. The synthetic tests determine the sequential and random read and write performance of the SSD. These tests are performed without using the operating system caches. In Sequential tests the program measures the time it takes to read and write a 1GB file respectively. With most of the benchmark tests showing peak performance from an SSD, I’ve changed AS SSD a little to now give us a clearer picture as to how the drive will perform given variable levels of file compression.

More recently we have been used to seeing compression tests with tow flat lines that run along the graph, but with the Fury using a cheaper SandForce solution, we will expect to see the drive have a strong variation in performance between compressible and incompressible data sets.
