SSDs have really come a long way over their short existence. From the meager 60MB/s reads to the 285MB/s read bandwidth found on the Vertex 2 you can see how the new Sandforce 1200 controller has improved SSD performance over SATA3. I can only...

With IOzone, the performance was spot-on for these large sequential file reads and writes. The OCZ Vertex 2 SSD benchmark results under Linux certainly speak for themselves: this is one heck of a fast SSD. The OCZ Vertex 2 with its SandForce SF-1200...

We have heard a lot of good things about the OCZ SSD drives in the past. It is unfortunate that their focus was not in Asia. It is only recently we have the opportunity to get our hands on the Vertex 2. As spec, the SSD drive is able to achieve what...
