AnandTech Storage Bench 2011
Back in 2011 (which seems like so long ago now!), we introduced our AnandTech Storage Bench, a suite of benchmarks that took traces of real OS/application usage and played them back in a repeatable manner. The MOASB, officially called AnandTech Storage Bench 2011 – Heavy Workload, mainly focuses on peak IO performance and basic garbage collection routines. There is a lot of downloading and application installing that happens during the course of this test. Our thinking was that it's during application installs, file copies, downloading and multitasking with all of this that you can really notice performance differences between drives. The full description of the Heavy test can be found here, while the Light workload details are here.
The same story continues in our 2011 Workloads. The performance isn't 850 Pro level, but the SSD370 is competitive among other value-oriented drives. The performance of the 128GB model is a bit of a letdown, but that was expected since 128Gbit NAND has a severe impact on parallelism at 128GB and lower.

Compared to other SSDs power consumption of SSD370 is high, as seen in review. What about comparing it to regular HDDs? As I understand, it's the same. I'm asking because I'm considering replacing regular HDD in my laptop with SSD370 256. So my battery life will remain the same? It won't be shortened?amirzz - Thursday, December 24, 2015 - link

You really should provide screenshots of actual capacities in these reviews. There can be easily ~10GB difference in capacity between brands/models even when labelled similarly, at ~240-256GB capacities.lenberg - Thursday, September 15, 2016 - link
Does anyone know how to align partitions in this ssd properly?What are the NAND Erase Block Size and NAND Page Size?
Thanks in advance.
