Now we have the results provided by HD Tune program.

On the burst transfer rate test, Intel X25-M achieved a performance lower than the other units, which were between 85% and 102% faster. The drive that achieved the highest burst transfer rate was Patriot Torqx, closely followed by OCZ Vertex. It was 6% faster than Mushkin Io and 9% faster than Kingston V+ Series. It is always good to keep in mind that this is the maximum transfer rate between the drive and the motherboard and may not have any impact on the drive's overall performance.

On the average transfer rate as measured by HD Tune, Patriot Torqx was the fastest drive, closely followed by Intel X25-M. It was 14% faster than OCZ Vertex, 15% faster than Mushkin Io and 19% faster than Kingston V+ Series.

On the maximum transfer rate as measured by HD Tune, Patriot Torqx was again the fastest drive, being 8% faster than Intel X25-M, 13% faster than OCZ Vertex, 15% faster than Mushkin Io and 22% faster than Kingston V+ Series.

And on the minimum transfer rate test Patriot Torqx was again the winner, being 11% faster than OCZ Vertex and Mushkin Io, 21% faster than Kingston V+ Series and 38% faster than Intel X25-M.
