Futuremark PCMark Vantage
PCMark is a benchmarking suite from FutureMark, who also make the renown 3DMark. It includes many tests to calculate overall system performance including hard drive performance. The hard drive suite performs tasks such as scanning for viruses, streaming, recording and more. It is a fairly good indicative of general real-world performance.
The WildFire impressed us once again with it's performance, as it is the first SATA drive we have tested that managed scored higher than the RevoDrive in FutureMark.
AS SSD
While most other storage benchmarks are designed with mechanical hard drives in mind, AS SSD, developed by Alex Schepeljanski, is built specifically for solid state drives. The application measure sequential and random read and write performance as well as access time. The first screen shot is of the Patriot Widlfire then followed by the RevoDrive, Agility 2, Corsair Force, Patriot Torqx, and Zephyr drives.
The WildFire was able to perform better than all the other tested drives in AS SSD.

Seriously, I don't know much about SSDs but that seems gorgeous TBH. I think with my OCZ 60GB SSD it takes something like 25 seconds to boot up which is pretty fast IMO.
Also, could you tell me some numbers about how well it compares to say, 7200RPM and 10K RPM drives? I know write speeds are a weakness with SSDs, but I'm thinking they're catching up nicely now. especially with this sexy drive.
I don't mind the price myself. By the time I get yet another computer (hopefully some 2.5+ years from now XD) I'd be able to get an even faster one, for a lower price I would think >_> Still, if I was building a rig RIGHT NOW with my own budget, I would definitely get this baby <3
