OCZ Vertex 3 240GB Review

Crystalmark is a useful benchmark to measure theoretical performance levels of hard drives and SSD’s. We are using V3.0 x64.

Incredible performance from the OCZ Vertex 3, dominating this test, even with small uncompressed files. These are the best results we have seen from a single drive SATA unit.

  1. Christ, I need a new hard drive. my system really does suck when I read all these reviews here.

  2. Vertex 3 is going to rock,. im waiting for the smaller version, hopefully they do one around 100GB.

  3. This drive really is insanely quick. Intel really dont get shown up very often, but OCZ really own this market.

  4. yum. Im still quite happy with my agillity, but maybe if I win the lottery ill buy a few of these.

    OCZ really do focus on this market, but I hear there isn’t much of a mark up on these products, so I do wonder how they are making money right now.

  5. That is serious performance man

  6. Wow, i feel so indequate now, that new sandforce comtroller is powerful.

  7. Wow, i feel so indequate now, that new sandforce comtroller is powerful.

  8. Any news on a 128gb model hitting soon? Prices etc?

  9. I read some people in the forums saying they were buying one for their laptop, whats the point no laptop has 6gbps interface!

  10. It will be 120gb not 128gb, half the size of this one, its logical for the nand layout. Good drive from ocz, price is also great

  11. With today’s SSD structure, you can’t compare different size of SSD. 120GB Vertex 3 got half the number of flash chips, so half the channels.

    I’m all for OCZ but you should do that in the future.

  12. The reason for including other different sized drives is to show people who already own the drives just what benefits they will get from an upgrade.

    Its not a ‘head to head’
