OCZ Vertex 3 (240GB) Review
by Anand Lal Shimpi on May 6, 2011 1:50 AM ESTAS-SSD Incompressible Sequential Performance
The AS-SSD sequential benchmark uses incompressible data for all of its transfers. The result is a pretty big reduction in sequential write speed on SandForce based controllers.

NIce to see the review, shame you never looked at the Vertex 3 Max IOPS versions though. Any chance you can get hold of them and report on the differences?Anand Lal Shimpi - Friday, May 6, 2011 - link
Still waiting on my review sample, I'm guessing it'll be next week :)Take care,
Anand

Any Idea when the Samsung 470 review will be up?? Quite interested in your take on this drive.cearny - Friday, May 6, 2011 - link
Realyy great review, but in my case it raises even more doubt. I was about to pull the trigger on the 120GB version of the Intel 510, but now I don't know what performance to expect at all.Do you think you'll also be able review the lower-capacity Intel 510/320 drives in the near future?

The 120GB 510 is next on my list :)Take care,

That's great news! Looking forward to the review :DM@rc - Friday, May 6, 2011 - link
I have a question regarding TRIM: if I install both Windows 7 (TRIM support) and OS X (no TRIM) on the same SSD, will that potentially cause problems?HilbertSpace - Friday, May 6, 2011 - link
Good question, I'm guessing it would only run TRIM on the windows partition and not the Mac one.ajp_anton - Friday, May 6, 2011 - link
I don't need more than 120GB. Any chance of a review of Intel's 120GB version?jjj - Friday, May 6, 2011 - link
Any word on a new firmware rls date? see http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showpost.php?p...Anyway waiting eagerly for M4 and Max IOPS @ 120GB reviews since those 2 seem to be the most interesting given the price/perf ratio.
