The testing of a SSD is not at complex as say ram or a motherboard. Because this is new technology there are not many benchmark suites out there to test them in the way they are suppose to be used. However, we are taking the most popular of the benchmark applications available to get you some idea of how fast the read and writes of these jobs are. Microsoft's Windows Vista and Seven are the ideal solutions for such a drive, but we decided to go with the latter of the two as Seven is the future. The current release candidate of the product is about as close to the actually release as it gets, so we decided to load our test bench with it.
