    Today we are going to have a look at Patriot’s model, the Patriot Inferno. At the heart of this SSD is a Sandforce controller, a controller that is being used more and more by SSD manufacturers. Currently Sandforce-based SSDs are available from several companies like OCZ, Corsair, OWC, Patriot, Mushkin and more.

    Hi, phil

    Have you tried CrystalDiskMark on this SSD , as i find with some sandforce based ssd`s the ATTO benchmark gives great results for read/write but on the CrystalDiskMark benchmark the write performance is poor, I hear it`s something to do with the writes being compressed on the sandforce based ssd`s and the ATTO is the only benchmark that can show the true speed , this just seems strange to me what do you think.

    True, Sandforce SSDs perform better with compressable data.

    Here's Crystal Disk Mark with 0 fill settings.

    And here with random data.

    Either way, I find real world performance much more important than all synthetic benchmarks. And in real world performance it does well.
