The Supertalent FSD28GC25M is capable of a sequential read speed of at least 60MB/s, a sequential write of 45MB/s and access times of 0.1ms. With no moving parts, the Super Talent 128GB SSD is obviously silent.

System Specs and SSD Benchmarks
Prelude to Benchmarks
The details of how the Super Talent 128GB Solid State Drive test
system was configured for benchmarking, including the specific hardware,
software drivers, operating system and benchmark versions are indicated below.
In the second column are the general specs for the reference platforms this
serial ATA hard drive is to be compared against. Please take a moment to look
over PCSTATS test system configurations before moving on to the individual
benchmark results.

The access times for the SuperTalent FSD28GC25M 128GB solid state drive are
impressive. As we can see, getting at the data is a very quick job for a solid
state drive.
HD Tach is a physical performance hard drive test
for Windows 95/98/ME and Windows NT/2000. In Windows 9X/ME it uses a special
kernel mode VXD to get maximum accuracy by bypassing the file system. A similar
mechanism is used in Windows NT/2000/XP. HD Tach reads from areas all over the
hard drive and reports an average speed. It also logs the read speeds to a text
file that you can load into a spreadsheet and graph to visually read the results
of the test.

With no spinning platter, the Super Talent
SSD can access data in an instant. Low CPU utilization means the processor is
free for other tasks. These two values are probably most important since
this type of drive can be deployed in unconventional situations, getting data available
quickly may be critical and with little to no CPU utilization means the
processor can focus on more important tasks.

This command generates random data, which contain
specially introduced redundancy increasing load to processor and memory. Then
data are passed through RAR compression and decompression algorithms and output
of decompression algorithm is compared with source data. If any difference
found, WinRAR reports "Errors found - Yes" in the command window. Also WinRAR
displays a size of processed data and compression speed, current and resulting,
in kilobytes per second. You may use the resulting speed value to compare RAR
performance in different conditions.
