This is where we were very curious as to how the Crucial C300 would stand up to the other SSDs and, more specifically, the OWC Extreme Pro SSD with its sequential write speeds being almost four times that of the C300. Lets throw up a CDM score of each to show how they match head to head before the Vantage results shall we? We will even keep it fair by showing the scores of both in SATA 2 testing.
Having looked at these would you believe that the top marks for PCMark Vantage x64 HDD Suit go to the Crucial in SATA 3 mode with 34020 marks? Congratulations Crucial! This was seconded by the OWC with 33042 marks but then, surprisingly enough even in SATA 2, the Crucial beat out the Intel X25 with 31457 marks to the Intels 31096. We were again surprised at this because, if you remember the Disk Copy test earlier on, the Intel prevailed with almost a minute to spare in that test. This, unfortunately for hard drives, is where one can see the absolutely humungous improvement from a hard drive to any ssd. The best score the Samsung could reach was 4345 marks which is still 7 times less than the poorest performing SSD.
All tests Hdd Suite tests were performed 3 times to ensure consistency of marks and when this was confirmed, the highest scores were used.
