Patriot Wildfire 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 77,047 PCMark Vantage points, which when looking back at reviews of similar drives, is quite impressive.

Looking at real world tests, the Wildfire seemes to score well in all tests, with a key focus being in how it handles Windows Media Center and importing pictures to Windows Photo Gallery. This shows that the drive can cater for all aspects of usage for the mainstream user.
