Intel 520 Series 240GB Solid State Drive Review

PCMark Vantage is the first objective hardware performance benchmark for PCs running 32 and 64 bit versions of Microsoft Windows Vista.

PCMark Vantage is perfectly suited for benchmarking any type of Microsoft Windows Vista PC from multimedia home entertainment systems and laptops to dedicated workstations and hi-end gaming rigs.

Regardless of whether the benchmarker is an artist or an IT Professional, PCMark Vantage shows the user where their system soars or falls flat, and how to get the most performance possible out of their hardware. PCMark Vantage is easy enough for even the most casual enthusiast to use yet supports in-depth, professional industry grade testing.

Using PCMark Vantage is another way of comparing drives between one another in a benchmark scenario, and with a result of 76,992, this is one of the best performing drives that we’ve seen to date.

The real-world performance shown in PCMark Vantage reveals some fantastic results with speeds topping over 440MB/s in Media Center, and some really great performance across the rest of the tests.
