OCZ 30GB Vertex (OCZSSD2-1VTX30G) SSD Review at CCE Reviews
June 9th, 2009
Comments Off
The OCZ Vertex is leaps and bounds better than the original JMicron Solid State Drive. If you’re an owner of the first generation drives and noticing your performance and system is starting to fall behind, it is time for an upgrade. I was originally pleased with the JMicron MLC SSD but after a few short weeks of use my notebook started to hang for a few seconds at a time. As OCZ clearly indicated on their packaging, my OCZ Vertex gives me faster access times resulting in a far more stable machine. The 64MB cache has made a world of difference and OCZ didn’t sacrifice too much bandwidth for the improved access time. We’re still well into the 140MB/s Write and 200MB/s Read. With Win7 just around the corner and the OCZ Vertex already claiming to support the TRIM command, OCZ’s Vertex has a very bright future ahead of itself.

OCZ Vertex SSD RAID-0 Performance @ Benchmark Reviews
April 3rd, 2009
Comments Off
“Lower power consumption and heat output are the least impressive benefits of Solid State Drives. The real payoff is in the practically instant response time and high-performance throughput. Once SSDs could outperform their HDD counterpart, it was all about price and capacity. Adding up to 64MB of Elpida DRAM to the buffer has permanently solved stuttering problems, making raw performance the last bottleneck. An Indilinx ‘Barefoot’ internal controller commands the bank of Samsung K9HCG08U1M DRAM modules, allowing a single OCZ Vertex SSD to offer impressive capacity with unmatched performance. But what if we put two Vertex SSDs into a striped RAID-0 array? Benchmark Reviews tests the speed and bandwidth of two OCZSSD2-1VTX120G SSDs against! the fastest storage products on the planet in this OCZ Vertex SSD RAID-0 performance article.”

OCZ Vertex Real-World Test Caught on Tape: SSD vs HDD

“While all those benchmark charts displaying 200+mb/s read and 150+mb/s write are impressive to see, it’s also good to actually have some idea of what that extra performance brings you in real life. We prepared two identical laptops with Windows 7 and Windows XP, one had a conventional HDD, the other a brand new OCZ Vertex SSD. The result is worth checking out.”
