We use Futuremark’s PCMark Vantage in many of our system reviews and we felt that it was worth an inclusion in this review. It is still a synthetic suite, but it uses many real world characteristics to try and judge overall performance levels. We are using the 64 bit version of the HDD Suite for this testing. We also compare against a Samsung F1 1TB drive on this page.
A PCMark score is a measure of your computer’s performance across a variety of common tasks such as viewing and editing photos, video, music and other media, gaming, communications, productivity and security. From desktops and laptops to workstations and gaming rigs, by comparing your PCMark Vantage score with other similar systems you can find the hardware and software bottlenecks that stop you getting more from your PC.
We are beginning to see the pattern, with the OCZ Vertex 3 taking the performance lead right at the top of the chart. It isn't even close when compared against the other drives on test today.
Christ, I need a new hard drive. my system really does suck when I read all these reviews here.
Vertex 3 is going to rock,. im waiting for the smaller version, hopefully they do one around 100GB.
This drive really is insanely quick. Intel really dont get shown up very often, but OCZ really own this market.
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.
That is serious performance man
Wow, i feel so indequate now, that new sandforce comtroller is powerful.

Any news on a 128gb model hitting soon? Prices etc?
I read some people in the forums saying they were buying one for their laptop, whats the point no laptop has 6gbps interface!
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
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.
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’
