OCZ Vector 180 480GB and 960GB 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 deals exclusively with incompressible data and the results from both 480GB and 960GB drives are excellent – the overall score of 1,111 and 1,166 are class leading. The Barefoot 3 controller doesn't exhibit weaknesses when shifting between compressible and incompressible data streams.

Some other comparisons from leading manufacturer drives, which we have tested in recent months.
