“Physically the Vertex3.20 is as any SSD on the market of late, it is 7mm thick allowing you to use it in your ultra-books and the like and should do well in just about anything that takes a regular 2.5” drive.” All results were obtained at 4600MHz on a normal install of Windows 7 64-bit.

We don’t have the original Vertex3 numbers posted here, but suffice to say that the 3.20 isn’t as fast for the most part. For some reason it performs to varying degrees; slower on most tests but not by a whole lot.
