SiSoft Sandra is a benchmark tool that we use fairly regularly, it is a good all round synthetic software suite. Today we are obviously concentrating on the drive sections to ascertain the SSD performance levels.
SiSoft Sandra isn't really the best test for the latest SSD drives, but as we can see, the results are significantly higher than any of the other drives we have tested before.
Its a lot of money for a drive (or card in this case, whatever its classed as), but for the high end audience this would rock. especially for video editing and streaming of HD content. I would guess that tv studios would use these a lot.
they don’t worth the money yet, way too expensive, not reliable, i better with two Raptors.
I dont think this is meant as a mainstream solution. I cant ever see the need for this myself.
A 120gb SATA 3 drive is more than enough for the mainstream audience, or even the high end audience, but this is a heck of a showcase for OCZ.
Why do you say unreliable 63jax?? have there been reports?
I heard the last ones had a fairly high failure rate. read a thread on it (think it might have been OCZ’s forum).
Hadnt read anything about these. quitre a few reviews up already for the 3 series and everyone seems to say they are ass kicking everything else.
Yeah, very nice. but id expect a new gaming laptop for the same price. PRO market product. scary speeds !
and relating to the numerous and infamous BSOD and freezes found with the new Sandforce controllers?
Are these drives failing too? or was that older ones? I dont think OCZ had a huge issue with 2281 failures. I think this was all sorted out a while ago….
i meant the SSDs in general are not reliable, OCZ has the highest return rate from them all, the safest right now are Intel’s drives, kinda…
i personally will wait a bit longer to refine them.
Just a note to say that running check disk on a revodrive is a bad idea. It is OK to run check disk switch free but I lost 40 GB to bad secotrs when I attempted to run checkdisk with the “b” switch. ie.e “check for recover bad sectors”.
