OCUK Titan 8500i Vortex System Review (Z77)

The OCUK Titan 8500i Vortex System uses the OCZ Agility 3 for a boot drive, and the Hitachi Deskstar 1TB for secondary storage duties. This is an ideal way to configure an enthusiast grade system.

The OCZ Agility 3 is an excellent performance Solid State Drive which delivers 500 MB/s in the sequential read test, and around 460 MB/s in the sequential write test. 4K QD 32 performance is also strong. The 1TB mechanical drive is substantial slower, but is perfectly fine when used as a high capacity storage and backup drive.

The ATTO Disk Benchmark verifies the findings above, with the Agility 3 60GB scoring around 550 MB/s read and 480MB/s write. This is an excellent drive to use for boot/ operating system duties.
