OCZ Vertex Series 120GB SSD Performance Preview - Indilinx makes an intro

[news 28]

The OCZ Vertex series of solid state drives might be the most anticipated

since the release of the Intel X25-M series. Using a new controller

technology from Indilinx, the Vertex drive we are previewing offers

incredible performance and a more reasonable price per GB.

Quote: "The Indilinx Barefoot controller, based on a custom logic ARM

processor, is doing nothing dramatically different than JMicron or Samsung

or even Intel controllers; but it has proved itself to be a strong

competitor for a first offering. In my initial preview testing the OCZ

Vertex drive offers read speeds just slightly below that of the Intel X25-M

80GB SSD but in most cases has a much faster write speed than the Intel

drive thanks in large part to the addition of 64MB of on-drive cache."

 

Thanks for a post!
