Sometimes the differences are minor, such as in the US Benchmark SSD 16 MB read (versus 501.19 MBps 503.74 MBps), sometimes they are more clearly (421.42 MB versus 309.52 MBps in Benchmark SSD AS copy), but Samsung did well in most every test we threw at it read. Write tests that are a little dicier; 323.1 MBps which resulted in sequential write tests is CrystalDiskMark is much better than Vertex 3
What is most interesting is how Samsung drive fared against 240 GB Vertex 3. Sometimes low-capacity drives have to sacrifice performance together with storage space (120 GB Vertex 3 when compared to older, in most areas, for example), but Samsung held its own well across the Board. It shows a similar shortfall in ATTO Disk Benchmark, but otherwise traded performance superiority with Samsung straight down the line, faltering only in the u.s. are noticeably SSD Benchmark
