4-Way SSD Round-Up Redux: OCZ, Corsair, PhotoFast

Simpli Software's HD Tach is described on the company's web site as such: "HD Tach is a low level hardware benchmark for random access read/write storage devices such as hard drives, removable drives, flash devices, and RAID arrays. HD Tach uses custom device drivers and other low level Windows interfaces to bypass as many layers of software as possible and get as close to the physical performance of the device being tested."

The standard Vertex drive once again takes the third spot, with the Corsair P64 trailing the pack.
