Benchmark Reviews and PC Perspective have reviewed 60-64GB solid state drives from OCZ and Super Talent.

Let’s see what they had to say:

  • Benchmark Reviews: OCZ Core Series SATA-II SSD OCZSSD2-1C64G:

    “In conclusion, OCZ has finally given consumers an undeniable reason for upgrading with a SSD product. The OCZ Core series offers excellent SATA-II performance on par with solid state products that cost thousands more, which means that the best experience doesn't have to cost the most money. Solid State Drives are excellent products for extending notebook battery life and increasing overall system performance, and the OCZ OCZSSD21C64G is an exemplary product that proves this point. The read speeds are near to 120 MBps and write-to speeds recorded close to 80 MBps, putting the fastest HDDs behind is performance. With Core series pricing the most affordable we've ever seen, gamers and hardware enthusiasts should soon experience the benefits this new technology can give their high-performance computer system. I completely endorse the OCZ Core Series SATA-II Solid State Drive because it offers top-level read and write speed performance at a cost comparable to enthusiast hard drives.”

  • PC Perspective: Super Talent MasterDrive MX 60GB Solid State Drive Review‏:

    “The Super Talent MX 60GB solid state drive is the first SSD we have tested that I can nearly call a "value". Compared to other SSDs on the market the MX line of drives offers more storage for significantly less money - twice the capacity and just more than half the price. There is a caveat however in the write performance of Super Talent's MX series being somewhat lower - especially in write speed tests - than that of OCZ's latest SATA-II SSD offering and the WD VelociRaptor 300GB 10k RPM standard hard drive.

    Our SSD testing is far from over - look for much more coverage of SSDs and how they'll affect your PC experience in the near future!!”
