news 28 Posted April 26, 2008 Our first review of a solid state disk compares the OCZ 64GB SATA-I model to the new VelociRaptor hard drive as well as other desktop HDDs and even another 2.5" notebook drive from Western Digital. The results are incredibly interesting though not as impressive as originally hoped.

The very obvious strong spot for the OCZ 64GB SSD is the pure speed it demonstrated in random access times; with a time of 0.2 ms compared to the 6.9 ms of our fastest platter-based hard drive the OCZ SSD is 345x faster in get that single bit of data. This can obviously incredible beneficial to applications that utilize a HUGE amount of random reads as long as those reads are for very small bits of data." Thanks for a post!
