AS SSD is a great free tool designed just for benching Solid State Drives. It performs an array of sequential read and write tests, as well as random read and write tests with sequential access times over a portion of the drive. AS SSD includes a sub suite of benchmarks with various file pattern algorithms but this is difficult in trying to judge accurate performance figures.
AS SSD deals only with incompressible data and the Vertex 4 512GB scores highly, right at the top of the chart again. The overall score of 1082 points is class leading.
Some other comparisons from leading manufacturer drives, which we have tested 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.
