Patriot Pyro SE 120GB 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.

PCMark is a good piece of software that allows you to compare results from one system to another. As you can see, we scored 68,352 PCMark Vantage points, which when looking back at reviews of similar drives, is quite impressive.

When we look at the real world performance, the Pyro SE fairs well in most tests with the main focus being on Media Center after seeing results of over 300 MB/s in the majority of the tests in the HDD Suite within PCMark Vantage.
