60GB-128GB Solid State Drive Review Roundup

• CCE Reviews: OCZ 60GB Agility 2 SATA II SSD Review:
  
  

  "We’ve done a number of tests and the results are clear, the OCZ Agility 2 with the SandForce 1200 Controller is a winner. The sequential and random read and write performance is spectacular. We achieved 285MB/s read and 275 MB/s write – this was with an operating system installed, not just when using the Agility 2 as a secondary drive. For those who want nothing but speed should certainly consider the OCZ Agility 2 in any one of the capacities ranging from 40GB to 480GB! With the aggressive pricing from OCZ, you won’t be disappointed."

• Funky Kit: ADATA S596 Turbo 128Gb SSD Review:
  
  

  "Utilising JMicron's new JMF616 controller, the Adata S596 Turbo leads the performance charts and is currently one of the fastest SSDs on the market. It also comes with some great features including 128Mb of onboard DDR2 ram cache, a built-in mini USB2.0 port, aluminum casing and a 3.5" inch mounting bracket. All of this, makes the whole package irresistably attractive. For this reason, we've given the Adata S596 Turbo 128Gb SSD our "Editor's Choice" award. Well done Adata!!"

• PureOverclock: Mushkin Callisto Deluxe 120GB SSD Review:
  
  

  "In terms of performance, the Callisto manages to produce excellent small file and random write performance that is truly impressive. And that is exactly the type of speed you want in a drive running your operating system and applications. The Mushkin drive clearly muscled its way near the top of the performance heap in just about every test we tossed its way, leaving us suitably impressed.
  
  With Mushkin's excellent attention to customer service, killer drive performance, and an outstanding price tag that beats all competitors, we think the Callisto 120GB is a top pick if you're in the market for a new hotrod SSD."

• PureOverclock: Patriot Inferno 100GB SSD Review:
  
  

  "So this leaves both Patriot and consumers in a bit of quandry. The 100GB Inferno has essentially been supplanted by the 120GB version, which offers better value with a bigger drive capacity. We suspect the 100GB drives will eventually just dry up off the shelves and effectively become end of life, with consumers just moving to the 120GB drives anyways. Regardless, the performance of the Patriot Inferno is unquestionably impressive across the board, and we absolutely love the 5 year warranty offered here. As a result, we definitely recommend the Inferno, but we think if you go with one, make sure to get the 120GB version."

• techPowerUp: Mushkin Callisto Deluxe 60 GB SSD Review:
  
  

  "At this time Mushkin's 60 GB Callisto is the cheapest 60 GB Sandforce SSD available on the market. It profits from a bigger capacity than the many other Sandforce drives in that range which offer only 50 GB of usable space. Low price and high capacity result in an SSD that is interesting for users that need to manage around a tight budget. It seems however that Mushkin's drive clocks in around 6% slower than the other Sandforce drives we tested so far. This shouldn't be of much concern to you unless you are looking for the absolute maximum in performance, in which case you'd have to up your budget."
