OCZ Vector 256GB SSD 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.

These results have knocked the OCZ Vertex 4 off the top slot, and are clearly class leading in 2012. Fantastic results in this incompressible data only benchmark.

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

  1. This is brilliant, IOPS is important for my work. ive ordered one for christmas.

  2. Waiting on this for a while, great review. thanks Z

  3. We need a SATA 4 connector now, for 900MB/s drives. almost at the limit…..

  4. Excellent drive, I hear they might be going under though, I hope this isn’t their swansong.

  5. I wouldn’t buy this, OCZ wont be here in another year. No warranty support is not a good thing.

  6. I’d rather buy a Samsung 830/840 or a Crucial M4 purely because they’re reliable. I know too many people who have had problems with OCZ solid state drives.

  7. OCZ struggling? Ho hum…. just built a PC with an Agility 3 and a power supply of theirs. With the luck I’m having no doubt they’ll end up going under and both will die a day after. Fingers x’d then….. for both my PC and OCZ staying afloat. As for the person who asked if they will honour the warranties if they go under: it’s unlikely!
