all this comes performance
that is bordering on the limits
of what the SATA 6Gbps
standard is capable of. You
may be seeing results lower
than the 600MB/s theoretical
limit of the standard, but you
should keep in mind that we
are showing an average result
here and not the peak results,
so there were times when
the sequential read and write
performance were above the
550MB/s mark. More than
the sequential performance
though, we were moved by
the 4K results which simply
annihilated what the CORSAIR
drives delivered a few short
months ago. We had never
seen results like this and we
are eagerly looking forward
to the drive that will not only
claim better numbers than
these, but actually go on to
produce them.
Read IOPS performance
was the one place where the
Vector drive failed to outshine
the NEUTRON drives. The
IOPS performance was almost
10K lower than what both
the Neutron and Neutron
could deliver. An odd result
considering the Write IOPS
performance was significantly
better delivering over 90K IOPS,
once again the highest we’ve
ever recorded in our test suite.
OCZ sweetens the deal
by providing you with drive
cloning software but it
doesn’t matter as far as we’re
concerned. The decision to buy
the drive will be made purely
on performance, the warranty
and pricing. As for the pricing,
it may be a little step for some
as it retails for $50 more than
the Neutron GTX. It does offer
noticeably faster performance
in benchmarks, but we do feel
$50 just may be a little bit ?]X? ?\?????]?[? ][???X[^H ?^H ?] X][?? \?B??[\? H?H[?HY??\?[??B??] ?Y[? \?H ?]?\??Y?[?^H\??&][?\??YB??Y?[? [?H\?HY?\? ?Y\???YYX??H[ [?x?&[]?B?] H ? [??X??]\? \?\?
