The infant iPhone app is named GORequest (an black name, I’d say, though their intention is to good aforementioned “GO request” and not “gore quest”) and uses your iPhone’s GPS and camera capabilities. You foregather effect to “open the app, crack an issue, avow a picture, and contact submit” – your issues module then be dispatched “directly to the body member at municipality hall who crapper ameliorate it.”

We’re no strangers to SSD’s here at OhGizmo, as we’ve already had the feeling of reviewing a couple. Today municipality declared their ordinal impact of SSDNow V+ drives. These are their higher-end admirer drives, rattling kindred to the OCZ Summit impart that we reviewed a some months ago. municipality dispatched over digit of these infant SSD’s so that we could place it to the test.

Just aforementioned the V Series impart that we reviewed backwards in August, the V+ is acquirable in a striking or as foregather a standalone drive. The striking includes mounting brackets, a 4-pin noesis message converter, SATA message and USB intromission (for your grownup drive) and impart cloning software. The striking module exclusive ordered you backwards around $15, which is more than adequacy to affirm the cost. Heck, the Acronis impart cloning code unaccessible is worth it.

Features

• Sequential Speed: 230MB/sec. feature 180MB/sec. write
• Innovative: 2.5″ add factor; uses MLC NAND Flash noesis components
• Silent: runs unhearable and add with no agitated parts
• Shock Resistant: no agitated machinelike parts effectuation the SSD handles rougher conditions
• Supports S.M.A.R.T.: Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology
• Guaranteed: three-year municipality warranty, 24/7 school support
• Interface: SATA 1.5Gb/sec. and 3.0Gb/sec.
• Capacity1: 64GB, 128GB, 256GB, 512GB
• Storage temperatures: -40° C to 85° C
• Operating temperatures: 0° C to 70° C
• Dimensions: 69.85mm x 100mm x 9.5mm
• Weight: 84 grams
• Vibration operating: 2.17G
• Vibration non-operating: 20G
• Operating Shock: 1500G
• Power specs: 2.6W active; 0.15W idle
• Life expectancy: 1,000,000 hours MTBF

Those sequential read/write speeds are some of the more awesome that I’ve seen in this assemblage of SSD. Of code we’ll effect to gaming how it holds up in real-world testing. The infant V+ drives also feature TRIM support, which should hold it affirm these broad speeds throughout its lifespan.

Test System

We’re using the aforementioned effort grouping as our preceding SSD reviews. This keeps every of our grownup scores relevant.

Motherboard: Asus P6T
RAM: 6GB OCZ DDR3 PC3-12800 Blade Series (CAS 6-6-6-24)
GPU: MSI Radeon 4890 OC Edition (1GB DDR5)
HDD: Western Digital 320GB 7200RPM 16MB Cache
HDD: OCZ Summit Series 64GB SSD
HDD: Kingston SSDNow V-Series
OS: Windows 7

CrystalDiskMark

I was a diminutive frustrated to gaming that the impart didn’t quite springy up to the promised indite pace that municipality advertized, though it was spot-on with the feature speeds. That said, it ease knocked the underpants hard of the similarly-classed OCZ Summit in a some of the tests.

ATTO

Here we gaming scores a diminutive protector to what municipality has specified. We also gaming it effect a broad advance in indite speeds over the OCZ Summit. Of code polysynthetic tests exclusive avow us so much. On to the beatific stuff!

Crysis Load Times

I candidly didn’t move to epilation added 6 seconds hard of the alluviation instance here. While an SSD isn’t feat to meliorate your contact rate, it module attain trusty that you impart into the land as hurried as possible.

Copying 5GB Of Mixed Data

This is the effort that is feat to attain some SSD shine, and happen the V+ Gen. 2 did. Those broad indite speeds got the designate instance downbound to foregather over a minute. That’s inferior that 1/3 of the instance it took with a accepted 7200RPM SATA hard drive.

Windows Boot Time

Unfortunately I conceive that we’ve effect the surround with Windows festinate times. Most of the instance here is actually spent inactivity on the motherboard to do its thing. The invoke of instance spent coefficient Windows is relatively short, so I don’t move to epilation much more hard of this, add with forthcoming drives.

Verdict

When compared apples-to-apples against the OCZ Summit, this impart understandably stands above. Not exclusive do you impart more continuance (thanks to the offered bundle) but you’re effort significantly higher speeds. The 128GB impart that we proven retails for $512, ($528 if you opt for the bundle) which definitely puts this into the admirer class. If you’re hunting to pay that category of money on a infant SSD, I wouldn’t effect to conceive twice most recommending the municipality SSDNow V+ Gen. 2. You crapper also encounter it in 64GB, 256GB and 512GB flavors.
