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 S511 and Vertex 3 performance levels.
Close results with all the drives, falling within the same parameters. The ADATA S511 scores a little more than either Vertex 3 in these tests.
Christ thats a quick SSD. I thought my 40GB intel one was good :p
Im still very impressed with the ADATA drive, its quite a bit cheaper and generally holds its own.
Its a lot of cash, but if I had it, id get one of these. would last for years. Cant see a new sata interface coming out soon anyway, so this is as good as it gets.
whats next sata 9GBps ?
Thats a really great idea. They cover all bases !
Why would the smaller drive have higher IOPS in one category?
OCZ make some great SSD’s I don’t think id buy anyone else. the 240GB is too rich for my blood. 120gb maybe…… any review coming up for it?
I still think these are small sellers, there is no way someone is spending almost 500 on an SSD for a system.
I read in the last review that OCZ wouldnt be bringing out a 60GB version of the vertex 3. have you any idea why? its an ideal size for a boot drive imho.
IOPS is where its at. but im not sure home users really need it. interesting to see OCZ with different versions of the same product. they certainly dont like to be surpassed in anything by other companies!
my next SSD, already saving up 😉
