OCZ's Vertex 2 Pro Preview: The Fastest MLC SSD We've Ever Tested

Sequential Performance - Virtually Bound by 3Gbps SATA

Most high end SSDs have sequential read speeds that are pretty much bound by existing 3Gbps SATA interfaces:

OCZ’s Vertex 2 Pro is no different. At around 265MB/s, we’d need to have a redesigned version of the controller with 6Gbps SATA support to go any faster.

It’s the sequential write speed that’s just freakin’ ridiculous:

At 252MB/s the Vertex 2 Pro delivers more sequential write speed than even the best SLC based SSDs. We’re almost bound by 3Gbps SATA here!
