The OCZ Vertex 3 is an impressive SSD to say the least, thanks to the SandForce SF-2281 processor at its heart, faster 6Gb/s interface and top-tier NAND. In one generation OCZ has managed to nearly double its speed in synthetic benchmarks and blow the...
Impressive scores of 554MB/s read and 522MB/s write in ATTO, 56037 IOPS score, 3 year warranty, Best performing solid state drive we have tested to date
None that I found
If you were expecting this drive to be one of the fastest 2.5-inch solid state drives available then you would be right. The Vertex 3 is the fastest solid state drive we have tested to date, it even beat out OCZ’s own RevoDrive! In ATTO we had scores...
We where pretty much dumbfounded when we tested the Vertex 3 PRO last week, given the specs of the 'regular' consumer edition Vertex 3 we wondered if this product would be noticeably slower and no, that's just not at all the case. In fact it even wins her...
Really* fast throughput - saturating SATA 6Gb/sec, Excellent IOPS scaling at higher queue depths, Overall performance similar to the more expensive Vertex 3 Pro, with the added bonus of more accessible storage
Odd stutter observed on our batch file write test (possibly due to beta firmware, and also present in the Vertex 3 Pro beta we tested last week), Performance at lower queue depths could be improved upon, Price (see below)
OCZ was the first to get next generation SandForce out the door, and with a consumer Vertex 3 following just 1 week after their Pro model, they seem to have closed their lead-time gap considerably. We were happy to see the consumer model not suffer too gr...
As we've said before and we'll continue to hammer any chance we can get, the single biggest bottleneck in modern systems is the traditional plattered hard drive, and using an SSD in your system will make such a massive difference that you'll want to cr...
SATA 3 Gb/s treated us very well, but the current generation of SSDs is just beginning to run into a bandwidth bottleneck. And that's what validates the inclusion of SATA 6Gb/s in the desktop space. Micron had the first SSD to exceed the limits of 3 Gb...
As we said earlier, there are two versions of SandForce 480GB drives manufactured with the SF-228X and synchronous flash. The first we reviewed today that uses 16 NAND ICs, but a few other companies went with a slightly modified controller (SF-2282) a...
Abstract: In the short time SSDs have been affordable to mere mortals, there’s been one brand name that has been synonymous with high performance at a premium price point. OCZ’s Vertex range has constantly maintained its lead at the top of the NAND-powered p...
Abstract: SandForce is the Intel of the SSD world, despite Intel's best attempts to be the Intel of the storage world. In the last two years this young company has created the finest SSD controllers on the market, showing Intel a thing or two about delivering pr...
