MB/s (higher is better)
With no dedicated cache, the G.Skill Titan joins the non-Intel SSDs in being some way off the pace in terms of burst speed, although the significant improvement that's obvious in comparison to the single drive controller equipped G.Skill 128GB SSD is very encouraging. That extra 50MB/s of burst hasn't come from something as simple as a cache chip, but rather is a direct indication of the performance improvements offered by using the Titan's dual drive architecture.

The average read across the drive is also much improved, and while no where near the doubling of performance, is only 40MB/s off the quoted maximum for the drive and is quite clearly superior to SSDs with a single JMircron drive controller (barring Intel's offerings of course).

m/s - less is better
The Titan's response time matches G.Skill's single drive controller equipped 128GB drive, an understandable result as the use of two 128GB drives working as one, while theoretically improving read and write speeds, shouldn't have any effect on a drives response times.
