To test real life performance of a drive we use a mix of folder/file types and by using the FastCopy utility (which gives a time as well as MB/s result) we record the performance of drive reading from & writing to a 256GB Samsung SSD850 PRO.
60GB Steam folder – 29,521 files.
50GB File folder – 28,523 files.
12GB Movie folder – 24 files (mix of Blu-ray and 4K files).
10GB Photo folder – 621 files (mix of .png, raw and .jpeg images).
10GB Audio folder – 1,483 files (mix of mp3 and .flac files).
The VX500 deals with everyday file transfers without problems. That said, the drive does handle the larger files in the media folder transfers more effectively than the smaller files of the 60GB Steam and, in particular the 50GB File, folders.
Great review thanks!
Seems like a decent drive, does make me wonder if they are going to continue the old Vector (VT) line and try and claw back some of the high end consumer market segment.
This seems like a very safe, solid drive and that should’t be an issue. But for better or worse OCZ was always a fairly avant guarde, forward looking company. This drive feels like a tweaked rebaged of the Q300, is this what OCZ has become?
What happened to Barefoot 3 and Indilinx controllers, sure they lacked low power sates, but it rivalled the might of Samsung for years! I was really hoping to see an evolution of this tech. Hell maybe it (The IP) has been incorporated into the new Toshiba Controllers and we would never know. But the new Tosh drives seem to behave so different in the benchmarks I doubt it.
I guess I was just hoping for something a little different from OCZ, in a very very similar and saturated SSD Market. For better or worse they always had an interesting product line up…
