OCZ Vertex 3 240GB Review

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 uses incompressible data so the sequential write speed is lower than it would be otherwise, at just over 290 MB/s. Still it is extremely impressive. Some fantastic results also with the 4k read and write scores, higher than anything else we have tested with a single controller onboard.
