OCZ Vertex 3 240GB Review

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.

In their official documentation OCZ rate the 4kb random/write performance at up to 60,000 IOPs, and the results we achieved were only slightly lower than anticipated, at 58,345. This is, yet again significantly higher than the Vertex 2 which was a previous leader in this benchmark test.

  1. Christ, I need a new hard drive. my system really does suck when I read all these reviews here.

  2. Vertex 3 is going to rock,. im waiting for the smaller version, hopefully they do one around 100GB.

  3. This drive really is insanely quick. Intel really dont get shown up very often, but OCZ really own this market.

  4. yum. Im still quite happy with my agillity, but maybe if I win the lottery ill buy a few of these.

    OCZ really do focus on this market, but I hear there isn’t much of a mark up on these products, so I do wonder how they are making money right now.

  5. That is serious performance man

  6. Wow, i feel so indequate now, that new sandforce comtroller is powerful.

  7. Wow, i feel so indequate now, that new sandforce comtroller is powerful.

  8. Any news on a 128gb model hitting soon? Prices etc?

  9. I read some people in the forums saying they were buying one for their laptop, whats the point no laptop has 6gbps interface!

  10. It will be 120gb not 128gb, half the size of this one, its logical for the nand layout. Good drive from ocz, price is also great

  11. With today’s SSD structure, you can’t compare different size of SSD. 120GB Vertex 3 got half the number of flash chips, so half the channels.

    I’m all for OCZ but you should do that in the future.

  12. The reason for including other different sized drives is to show people who already own the drives just what benefits they will get from an upgrade.

    Its not a ‘head to head’
