Crystal Disk Mark 3.0 is in the spotlight. Just a bit of background information; higher capacity drives tend to perform a little better in Crystal Disk Mark 3.0. This gives the Kingston SSDNow V+200 120GB a bit of an inherent competitive disadvantage compared to the 240GB drives on this list. For the most part, the SSDNow V+200 120GB trades punches quite fairly against the Patriot Pyro 120GB, which is a great thing. However, when it comes to having a pair of these drives in RAID 0, there is not much question that the SSDNow V+200 absolutely destroyed the competition in the first two tests. However, in a rather surprising outcome, it actually decreased the score in the 4K read/write benchmark. Closing off the set are the 4K QD32 results; RAID 0 significantly improved write performance, but still didn't beat the OCZ Vertex 3 Max IOPS 240GB in the read test.
