CrystalDiskMark
CrystalDiskMark is a free utility maintained by Japanese company Crystal Dew World. CrystalDiskMark evaluates the performance of your hard drives based on two tests – a sequential read/write test and a random read/write test. You can select the drive to test, the number of test and the size of the data to test which can be 50MB, 100MB, 500MB and 1000MB. The results displayed below have been conducted using 5 rounds of the 500MB test.
Results Analysis
As you can see from the results above, the OCZ Summit wins out in all but the highest sequential read test but still hitting the advertised speed with ease. This has put paid to my previous concerns regarding the HDTach and HDTune readings. In all the other tests, the OCZ Summit is clearly the fastest drive in both read and write tests. The mechanical drives simply pale in comparison with even the Velociraptor crumbling under the immense speed both the Vertex and more importantly, the Summit SSD's offer.

Great review mate....shame about the price though... is twice as much as the bloody pc i am usin...
Yeah I hear ya on the price. Still when people are paying £100 for 30GB I guess it's not so bad lol especially when you consider this is no 'run of the mill' drive.
intel or was it samsung are releasing some cheaper SSDs in the next couple of weeks. Wonder what they'll be like.

It greatly depends on the amount of cache the drives carry. Cheap drives usually mean less cache and I would be very hesitant before buying a drive with little/no cache as you will get stutter problems.

Pricing is ultimately outrageous, I didn't see anything significant that seperated it from it's vertex partner.
More or less agree with the Mediocre sum-up, u would expect a cheap 3.5 adaptor to be in there as standard.
Packaging wize, I think they're very nervous about making it a good one - criticism then may be that £552, they should charge £499 and keep it very oem.
Good luck to them milking users tbh. They feel the 250g drive is worth more than 2x GTX 285.
Once data is in the RAM the harddrive is hardly touched. At that price there is no need for it. Are they stupid?
I have a suspicion also that they're looking at Ultra320 prices, controllers and drives, and thinking "if they can charge that much, so can we".
