OCZ Vertex 3 Pro Preview: The First SF-2500 SSD
by Anand Lal Shimpi on February 17, 2011 3:01 AM ESTAnandTech Storage Bench 2011 - Light Workload
Lighter use cases still show a benefit from the SF-2500, but again we see that a 6Gbps interface is necessary to really distance this drive from the pack:
Read performance continues to be a tremendous advantage of the SF-2500. Again, 6Gbps matters a lot here.

I know it would bring the load to the CPU rather than the controller, but I wonder if using it on other drives could bring similar results in terms of increased speed or reduced writing overhead...bhougha10 - Wednesday, February 23, 2011 - link
Ok, Anand, enough is enough. I know you know when the G3 is going to be here. Please spill it. Do I want to wait any longer, or is it futile?MarcHFR - Thursday, February 24, 2011 - link
Dear all, Dear Anand,I think it's important to note that AnandTech Storage Bench, like PC Mark Vantage HDD, represent a "best case" for SandForce based SSD.
These benchmarks are based on logs which have recorded accesses to be repeated, but not the data contained in these accesses. These means that the data used in the benchmark may well be highly compressible, which isn’t necessarily the case in real usage.

500 bucks for a 100GB drive?! Are you FUCKING KIDDING ME?!that's LITERALLY 10 times more expensive than it's worth...
I simply do not understand this; who besides Bill Gates and Warren Buffet would buy this crap? No I take that back, both those guys are smart enough to turn down such an offensive value proposition. So I repeat, WHO WOULD BUY THIS?!
