PCPer File Copy Test
Our custom PCPer-FC test does some fairly simple file creation and copy routines in order to test the storage system for speed. The script creates a set of files of varying sizes, times the creation process, then copies the same files to another partition on the same hard drive and times the copy process as well. There are four file patterns that we used to try and find any strong or weak points in the hardware: 10 files @ 1000 MB each, 100 files @ 100 MB each, 500 files @ 10 MB each and 1000 files at 1 MB each.
The Force GT held with the Pyro, and the Force 3 lagged slightly behind. This was odd considering the Force 3 uses the same IMFT Asynchronous flash as the Pyro.
File copies were in line with other SandForce units.

I installed the 120 gb as my boot disk and am very happy with the speed. It really helps me with 3d models in Autodesk Inventor and Revit. I would recommend going for a higher capacity than I did. I’ve installed windows 7, autodesk factory design and autodesk building design suites and i only have about 6 – 7 gigs left. WIsh I went for the 240.

It is highly recommended to Install the latest firmware especially if you’re planning to run the drives in RAID.

Allyn, I have the choice between the 120gb Patriot Pyro for $182AUD or the 120gb Corsair Force 3 for $195AUD. What would you get at these price points?

Corsairs specs indicate IOMeter 2008 was used for this test, and it’s important to note that 2008’s writes were a repeating pattern that is easily and fully compressible by the SandForce controller, meaning those specs were derived using fully compressible data.
