Abstract: With the size of pages and blocks of NAND increasing on these new chips, the controllers that use them will be aiming to make up for the losses in speed for smaller accesses that are inherent in these changes. Moreover, while this flash memory doesn't seem affected and still has an endurance of 5000 write cycl..
Abstract: So, the 120GB OCZ Vertex 2 is specified to have a peak read speed of 285 MBps and a peak write speed of 275 MBps. Its sustained write speed is 250 MBps. Interestingly, the larger-capacity models are declared to have lower..

The OCZ Vertex Turbo Series and Photofast G-Monster V5 proved to be the highest performing drives in the group represented in this article. The G-Monster in particulr offered strong performance in the ATTO, HD Tach, and SANDRA tests, where its read an...
I was going to include a price comparison, but a few of the units tested (like the Corsair P64) dont seem to be carried anywhere as of yet. That said, prices generally do not sway far from the cost/GB of ~$2.75 set by Intel when they released their...
