Having a more detailed look at the performance, we see that the OCZ VX500 does perfectly well in these tests. According to our measurements sequential throughputs are 524 MB/s in the case of writing and 539 MB/s when testing sequential read capabilities. Also regarding IOPS performance the OCZ VX500 does well, managing 77’900/93’900 random write/read IOPS. Looking at IOPS in the case of queue depth 1 we measured 34’400 regarding write and 4’900 regarding read. What we like was the strong sequential performance at QD1 which was 498/443 MB/s write/read.
Meanwhile it’s about time to start talking about the price. The OCZ VX500 is available with three different capacities: 128/256/512/1024 GB and these days the corresponding prices are 65/95/145/335 Euro. This means the price per gigabyte is 0.51/0.37/0.28/0.33 Euro respectively. Especially the 512 Gigabyte drive is well priced and therefore this would be the drive recommend talking about the OCZ VX500 lineup.
