Overall Review: Using HDTune I received 375MB/s sustained read speeds and 165MB/s sustained write speeds.
The sustained writes are lower than I would like to see but overall I found the performance acceptable.Ĭons: Performance - The overall performance is not as good as PNY's predecessor model the CS1211, but that drive was MLC-based.
