Review Score:
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 are using a custom 4k sequential read test today to measure IOPS performance.
The drive returned an IOPS score of almost 73,000 which is very positive. OCZ claim up to 120,000 IOPS with a 4k random write test, but we only managed to get around 88,000 with our own settings as we aren’t aware of how OCZ achieved their claimed figures. Still, it is more than capable.

Thats really good. Didnt think that would be possible. Is it just for Windows 7 ?

I was wondering when something like this would be released, and it came quicker than I imagined. There will always be a trade off with a mechanical drive in the mix, but they seem to have it narrowed down a good bit.

great stuff. been waiting for something like this. reckon they could make a 2.5 inch drive like this? obviously it would be much thicker in dimensions and not practical for a laptop, but for a desktop? would make a lot of sense. 1TB sata 6GBps drive right at the limits of the platform for about £350?

This is really incredible. 1tb for under £400 at this speed? OCZ really do lead the way in SSD tech.

Its still a fair bit of cash. are they making a smaller size? 500gb would be great for £200

lousy drive for money. seagate has similar pci-e drive with 10X performance for same money.

what bollocks. 10GB/s read via a 2.5 inch drive and SSD combo for £400? lol.

Nought to do,
I believe that Segate makes a drive in 300GB and 500GB sizes that is a hybrid SSD and mechanical HDD. I’m pretty sure that it even fits into a laptop. Now, I’m not sure about relative performance and they are pretty pricey for what they are but they do exhist.
Now this OCZ drive, that is a nice piece. I would probably use something like this on my media PC for encoding purposes or the like. My RAID setup seems to slow down when running a lot of reads and writes. I bet that this would be substantially better at doing those type of things.
