OCZ Vertex 450 256GB Review


IOMeter is another open source synthetic benchmarking tool which is able to simulate the various loads placed on hard drive and solid state drive technology.

We test with both random read and write 4k tests, as shown above. There are many ways to measure the IOPS performance of a Solid State Drive, so our results will often vary between the manufacturer’s quoted ratings.

This drive gives some stunning IOPS performance, rating just under 90,000 IOPS in our write test and just under 83,000 IOPS in our read test. These are very close to OCZ's claims.

  1. An excellent drive, ive been waiting on one for a while now. still not stock here!

  2. They need to lower the price a little more I think against Samsung drives to get more market share. I know a lot of people just look at the best price and buy based on that.

  3. I would have a problem trusting OCZ. I had 2 of their sandforce powered drives fail, luckily OCUK replaced them for me, but they tend to rush things out before completely checking them. just my 2 cents

  4. Agreed that some of them were faulty, But It is not ethical to target the controllers and we need to change the perception that all drives having SF controller would fail.
