I have been using HDTach for many years now and always find it is an invaluable benchmark to ascertain potential levels of performance. HD Tach is a low level hardware benchmark for random access read/write storage devices such as hard drives, removable drives (ZIP/JAZZ), flash devices, and RAID arrays. HD Tach uses custom device drivers and other low level Windows interfaces to bypass as many layers of software as possible and get as close to the physical performance of the device possible.
The MAX IOPS scores the lowest in this test, at 370.4 MB/s, although the differences are very minor.
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 😉
