As has been mentioned in the thread about the Vertex 2 50GB, Sandforce drives perform real time compression on data - The more it can be compressed, the less bytes have to be physically read or written so the operation is quicker.

Atto uses easily compressed data in it's test file, so it gives best case results. AS-SSD and Crystaldiskmark use completely random uncompressable data, so they give worst case results.

Real world performance is somewhere in the middle. Anandtech's io trace benchmarks are the best way to get an idea where performance really lies.
 
Congrats with the new SSD :cool:
I will soon be joining this week with the Vertex 2 so I hope all goes well! Just some advice, be sure you disable sleep mode on PC (monitor sleep is fine) if you not done so already as LE still don't like this :)
