Review: OCZ Vector 256 Gigabyte

Category : Storage

Published by Marc Büchel on 27.11.12

After the Vertex 4 had been launched a few months ago, OCZ now releases their Vector drives. It is their very first consumer grade Solid State Drive which goes to market under the lead of OCZ's new CEO - Ralph Schmidt. Furthermore OCZ say that the Vector is also their first SSD which is based on their own controller, which has been designed inhouse by their Indilinx team. We're really curious if this drive is able to perform within the proclaimed specs. 550 MB/s sequential read, 530 MB/s sequential write and up to 100'000 IOPS, that's quite something.

There is no other manufacturer that released more Solid State Drive this year than OCZ. And there were not only products in the comsumer space, OCZ also launch several new products in the enterprise market.

With all those new products not everything went perfectly fine. In our opinion for example the Octane and the Vertex 4 were launched too early. We're sure that scheduling a launch for one month later would have helped to release the drives with a perfect firmware right from the beginning. It would have been awesome to see these products perform at their maximum speeds right from the very start.

Since the very moment that OCZ has started to mainly focus on Solid State Drive, or in other words, when they got rid of the their DRAM business, they have shown, that they are able to create really, really fast drives. You might expect this already, there is a "but". Over the past year it seemed that they were just not patient enough when it came to launching a new product. Instead of releasing a product that has been driven to perfection there were quite some products that needed a few more firmware updates until users could access the real potential of these drives. This year OCZ also went through a lot of change. There even is their new CEO Ralph Schmidt and today the company is launching the first SSD under his lead. It really seems that with the Vector their are changing one very important thing and the company is trying to start a new chapter.

The first sign was that we got the sample quite early. In fact it was about two weeks before the launch that we received the 256 Gigabyte Vector we're testing here. Therefore we really had plenty of time to do some thorough testing. Furthermore there is something no other SSD manufacturer has done in the consumer space. OCZ is mentioning an interesting number. Taking a closer look at the specs we discover a value which is related to endurance. OCZ says that the Vector should be capable of writing 20 Gigabyte per day over five year under typical client workloads. To be honest it is difficult to put this value into perspective since other manufacturers haven't yet been mentioning these numbers at all. But several months ago we have published an article where we discussed how long it would take until the NAND flash cells of todays SSD start dying. For a fictious drive which had an awful write amplification and less NAND flash cells we ended up with a life expectancy of six years. Keeping this in mind OCZ should be on a safe side with their claim and furthermore we don't expect that they are going to be overrun with RMA cases concerning the Vector (saying it's a reliable drive with some sort of understatement).

Controller

Ok, but what is so interesting about this drive? Compared to the Vertex 4 the Vector's controller is not based on a piece of Marvell silicon. OCZ says that the Vector is using its very own controller which has been designed by Indilinx, where the name is IDX500M00-BC. Furthermore you'll find two 256 Megabyte DRAM chips from Micron, whereas has been placed on each side of the PCB. A closer look a the NAND Flash shows that it's the same they are already using for the Vertex 4. OCZ puts 25 nanometer Intel chips on the PCB and they have the part number 29-F16B08CCME3, indicating that they are specified at 5'000 P/E cycles. Furthermore they are connected to the controller via an ONFi 2.x interface.

Checking out the features, we came across a Data Path Protection which is capable of correcting 28 random bits per kilobyte. As we already mentioned OCZ ships this drive with five years of warranty and the drive is able to handle 20 Gigabyte written per day, which should be enough for any enthusiast around.

Last but not least there is the delivery. First of all the weight of the Vector was quite surprising. In fact this drive is quite a bit heavier than it's competition. Weight is always a subjective indicator for quality. In fact OCZ provided the Vector with a very stable steel chassis, which protects the actual SSD inside very well. Next to the drive itself - which measures seven millimeters in heigt - you can find a small manual, a 3.5 inch adaptor, screws and a sticker. Furthermore OCZ bundles the Vector with a copy of Acronis True Image. In the box you wont find a CD or a DVD but there is license key. You'll just have to go to the corresponding website and download your copy. Disk Image is a really sweet program that helps you migrate data from you're old drive to the new one.

We think everybody reading this article can imagine the following scenario: You just bought a hard drive which according the specs sheet should transfer 120 MByte/s reading and writing. In the reviews you read about astonishing 110 MByte/s but after you put the drive into you system it feels much slower. The whole story gets even worse when you start a benchmark which does randomread/write of 4 KByte blocks. There you only get two to three MBytes/s.

Because of this we don't want to publish screenshots of standard programs like HD-Tach, HD-Tune, ... we want our tests to be

• reproducible,
• accurate
• meaningful and
• varied ...

... sind.

We test with activated caches and NCQ (Native Command Queueing) because they're also activated under daily use. But the data size tested is always at least twice the amount of the memory. In this there will be no intereference.

We noticed that the measuring error is constantly within ±2%. Therefore we mention it only here.

Additionally we evaluate the S.M.A.R.T. data to assess if there are already errors.

The following table give you a brief overview to which points we turn our centre of attention.

Test	Observations
Sequential Read/Write Tests	Are the values within the specifications? Which influence has the block size? Which influence has the filesystems block size?
Random Read/Write Tests	How severe is the influence on the theoretically possible (sequential) datarate? Which influence has the block size? Which influence has the block size on the filesystem?

iozone3 is a benchmark suit for storage solutions which natively runs under Linux.

Therefore we are testing the throughput with different block sizes using the following commands:

Why do we test different block sizes?

It is important to reproduce scenarios of daily usage. Certain parameters need to be variable during the test to make a statement about the product. In our test the parameters are the different block sizes. It defines the size in KBytes which is written/read on the drive during a transaction.

With this method one can test the reading and writing of either small and big files. In a normal personal computer environment you usually don't find many files smaller than 16 KByte. The relative amount of small files is much bigger on a mail or database server. Therefore tests with small block sizes are of interest for database-based applications.

In bigger RAID arrays the hard disk cache is usually disabled and the RAID-Controller takes over the job of caching. Exactly in such setups hard drives need to be very fast when reading or writing small amounts of data. Sequential throughput isn't interesting in this case.

Conclusion

Announcement: Despite the circumstance that the rating of a product is based on as many objective facts as possible there are factors which can have an influence on a rating after publication. Every autor may perceive data differently over time whereas one possible reason for example is a deeper background knowledge or understanding of certain processes. Certain unforseen market conditions as well as changes have the potential to render a descision made at a certain point in time obsolete.

A closer look at the sequential thoughput rates reveals that this drive offers some serious performance. Regarding sequential reads we see a maximum value of 553 Megabytes per second. Concerning sequential writes the drive tops out at 531 Megabytes per seconds. When it comes to random IOPS we measured more then 95'500 IOPS for 4k random reads and about 85'500 IOPS for 4k random writes. According to the specs this drive should be able to deliver 550 Megabytes per second when doing sequential reads and 530 Megabytes per second when it comes to sequential writes. Therefore the OCZ Vector exceeds the performance promised by the manufacturer, which is always a pleasant surprise. Another thing, that is worth mentionin is the fact, that the sequentials are very stable and robust over all the tested block sizes. Sometimes we see performance drops, when testing 32 kilobyte or 64 kilobyte blocksizes. But in here, this isn't the case.

With the Vector OCZ - for the first time - mentions another number related to reliability other than the MTBF. They say that this drive can cope with 20 gigabyte written per day for a period of five years under typical client workloads. As we explained on page 1 of this review, it's difficult to put this into persepective but we think for a consumer grade drive these numbers are definitely good. Furthermore there are the five years warranty you get, buying this drive which means that the manufacturer is convinced, that this drive is highly reliable.

Recommendation

If you're looking for one of the fastest SSDs out there, then you should definitely consider the OCZ Vector. The performance you get from this drive is on a highly competitive level. Furthermore you get this very high performance over all different block sizes and it also doesn't matter if data is compressible or not. But in the end there is more than just performance where an SSD should shine bright, there is also reliability and with the Vector you get five years of warranty, which no other manufacturer is outperforming these days.
