What testing / results determines what makes a good SSD good?

Access times are also spot on.

Manufacturer quality
Build quality
Failure Rate
Everyday file transfer/read speeds
All of which aren't guaranteed and depend on lost of variables to do with your specific machine...
Samsung 830 if you want the best of the best all round
ones where the data your reading.writing isnt like this
123456
as on your SSD real world data is going to be fragmented all over the place so its going to end up spread across your ssd more like this
316425
making random reads/writes and access time king
I think OP should add this to the top of the initial post with an explanation that this is just the drive and not drive plus kit

The OP doesn't suggest it's anything other than just the drive.
Most SSDs are sold that way unless stated otherwise.
I'm merely suggesting that with increased traffic on the site due to this deal, OCUK might aswell put the OCZ ssd upgrade kit next to it to shift some of those aswell
so which one is good for gaming and faster at booting W7 ?

can't see a comparison between V200 and V+200

I have this drive and it boots Windows 7 in 20 seconds.
Skyrim loads screens in about 1.5 - 2 seconds every time.

Wow!
If faster means less numbers then your on to a winner! Tested your theory, flawed does not even begin to describe the results.

i'm put off buying this drive now because if the last chart is anything to go by then it is significantly slower than my crucial m4 128Gb.

It's a 120gb for less than £60. Stat this and bench that blah blah it's a good drive for the price. The Crucial M4 is £95 so there is no comparison.

You get what you pay for is the quote to bare in mind. If you want an M4 then pay the extra.... simple

The M4 can be had for less and has been as low as £75 if you look around. It would have been nice to see some benches for this drive in the op.

Thats the V200 mate, not the V+200
The Chap who posted this post posted V200 results and tried to claim that its faster than the V+200
One obscure result showing a test that doesnt represent true to life performance does not constitute for a slow drive being quicker than a fast one.The V+200 found in this thread HERE shows that it is faster than all similar drives such as the Agility 3, S510, Force 3 etc and is most cases seems to trade blows with the likes of the Vertex 3 and S511 etc
its in a completely different league to the V200.
