Crystalmark is a useful benchmark to measure theoretical performance levels of hard drives and SSD’s. We are using V3.0.1 x64.
4k QD32 performance is class leading, outperforming all other Solid State drives to date. This obviously excludes the Raid 0 Intel 520 Series configuration and the RevoDrive 3 x2.
Incredible results with incompressible data and a very promising first test.
We enabled the ‘compressible’ data mode, otherwise known as ’0×00′. I reran these tests many many times to confirm the results above. The OCZ Vertex 4 suffers no penalty back and forward between these data modes. This has not happened before, so it is remarkable.
Above, some included compares from other leading solid state drives which we have reviewed in recent months.
id like to see how the 128GB fares, but it looks a lot worse. still thats incredible performance if you can afford 512gb.
looks like a dream drive for a server relying on database operations daily.
Yeah ill have to get me one of these for the new system. great review, IOPS is killer. thanks.
Sandforce I dont trust, never have too many issues.
They got it right this time. Looks like a good price to performance drive. The quicker they move away from Sandrorce the more we can all sleep better at night. I bought a Corsair FOrce on sandforce and it was nothing but trouble from day one.
Im pleased for OCZ. they got burned badly with Sandforce and have placed a lot of resources into this platform. Without them the SSD market would be years behind the point it is at now.
Excellent read, thanks.
