MemoRight FTM Plus 240GB Solid State Drive Review
PCMark Vantage - Drives with Data Testing
For a complete breakdown on the Drives with Data Testing please read this article. You will be able to perform this test at home with the files provided in the article - full instructions are included.
Brief Methodology
SSDs perform differently when used for a period of time and when data is already present on the drive. The purpose of the Drives with Data testing is to show how a drive performs in these 'dirty' states. SSDs also need time to recover, either with TRIM or onboard garbage collection methods.
Drives with Data Testing - 25%, 50%, 75% Full States and Dirty / Empty Test
Files needed for 60 (64GB), 120 (128GB), 240 (256GB)
60GB Fill - 15GB, 30GB, 45GB
120GB Fill - 30GB, 60GB, 90GB
240GB Fill - 60GB, 120GB, 160GB
Empty but Dirty - a test run just after the fill tests and shows if a drive needs time to recover or if performance is instantly restored.

In the middle of 2011 we introduced testing with data on the drives at different fill points. These tests allow us to see performance with a drive deployed in a system with data on it. The FTM Plus starts out very strong and is just as fast as the Kingston HyperX. Both drives were very close to breaking the 80,000 Mark point in initial testing. These go downhill, though, from there and performance is reduced to around 50,000 when the FTM Plus is filled half way.
The last test in the group is a TRIM test. This is run just after the 75% full test and shows if a drive is able to quickly recover. The FTM Plus was able to pull off a 77,000 Mark run with the data deleted, so TRIM is working very well.
