Hi,
I recently purchased a kingston v300 (yeah, another one falls victim to the ole bait n' switch). The website I got it from says the disk will have read times of 450 MBps, etc. for the 120GB version (If it doesn't, I'll be returning it.)
What I'm wondering is, can I do some sort of benchmark test before I install an OS on the disk?
Would a bootable linux disk work to check the drive before I bother to install an OS on it or should I hook it up to a friend's desktop and run AS SSD on the drive?
If not, I'll install the OS and run AS SSD and see how it stacks up. If the "old" v300 can get speeds of 450MBps with this program, then I'll be testing the one I get with this program. Maybe I'll get lucky and get an old SSD instead of the new ones that get 30% of the original speeds.
Thanks for any help,
Bryan
