ANVIL STORAGE UTILITIES PROFESSIONAL (BETA)
Anvil Storage Utilities is the best software program available for benchmarking flash media. Not only does it give an accurate look at transfer speeds and throughput, but also, it goes even further by identifying file sizes, disk access times, as well as system and device identification.
Anvil Storage Utilities confirm what we have already seen above and we set it up to test in highly incompressible data just to push the Patriot EP SDXC card just a bit. Also available in the Anvil results are performance IOPS and access times, as well as system and storage device identification.
REPORT ANALYSIS AND FINAL THOUGHTS
Where yesterday 128GB SSDs were on everyone’s mind, today’s flavor of the day is a high performing and high capacity SDXC card. The key to most media enthusiasts, however, is that value must be the third component and this is where the Patriot EP Series SDXC family fits the bill just right. Pricing at the 128GB level might be a bit above but the 64GB version of this media card is well below the $1/GB mark at Amazon and that is a good thing. Where warranty is also an indicator of product quality, the Patriot EP Series family comes in with a 5 year warranty which says a great deal of the confidence Patriot has in their product.
All in all, we find the Patriot EP Series 128GB SDXC Card to have decent performance of 50MB/s read and 30MB/s write disk transfer speeds, great value, a five year warranty and the fact that it is available in a 128GB capacity is amazing. It is deserving of our Silver Seal of Approval.
