OCZ Octane 512GB Solid State Drive Review (v1.13 firmware)

Allan 'Zardon' Campbell February 28, 2012 Highlights-new, SSD Drives

PCMark 7 includes 7 PC tests for Windows 7, combining more than 25 individual workloads covering storage, computation, image and video manipulation, web browsing and gaming. Specifically designed to cover the full range of PC hardware from netbooks and tablets to notebooks and desktops, PCMark 7 offers complete PC performance testing for Windows 7 for home and business use.

PCMark 7 shows that the new firmware gives slightly worse overall performance with these specific tests, although none of them really take advantage of the enhanced small block performance.

    Good drives, I actually bought a 128gb version in january. been flautless for me.

    It is a good point that sandforce are known to fail, even if they are very quick. I know a lot of people on forums who got burned with OCZ and corsair branded sandforce drives.

    I still think its a bad time to buy an SSD, later this year or 2013 will have the next generation which will completely saturate 6 Gbps when compressed and incompressed
