OCZ designed the Vertex 2 solid-state drive to surpass the competition when it comes to performance by using the SandForce SF-1200 series controller and the best firmware revisions possible. With native TRIM support and featuring 285MB/s read speeds with 275MB/s write speeds you can say that OCZ is off to a good start. Read on to see how the Vertex 2 performs against nine other drives!
With Team SandForce on top, the only question remaining is which manufacturer and drive should we choose to purchase. There are a few variables here and most are personal choices. You might be looking for all out speed, the fastest drive on the market or maybe warranty length weighs more in your purchasing decision. Some consumers may just simply be loyal to a company's products due to past experiences with customer service, warranty issues or forum activity.
The drive we are looking at today in our labs is simply entitled the Vertex 2 and it is the true successor to the original VERTEX unit and is based around the affordable Sandforce 1200 controller which OCZ claim will outperform the Limited Edition. The idea is that OCZ will be dropping the price of the original Vertex drive for the mainstream marketplace while targeting performance users with the Vertex 2.
Its on folks, after a few years of being stonewalled, XSR is back working with OCZ; and what a good way to get back into the swing of things. Today it’s the OCZ Vertex 2 120GB SSD that we’re looking into; hopefully it’s not the last one we’ll do either, so I better do I good job; though I can’t give them an easy time either, what a dilemna.
The drive we have for evaluation today is the OCZ Vertex 2 50GB, the successor to the popular Indilinx-based Vertex we looked at a year ago. As you may have guessed, the Vertex 2 uses the SandForce SF-1200 which is now used in several other drives from other manufacturers besides OCZ. But what makes the OCZ drive unique is a custom firmware from SandForce that is optimized for maximum IOPS (Input/Output Operations Per Second).
Storage
SSDs gewinnen immer weiter an Bedeutung, und auch wenn große Kapazitäten immer noch mit saftigen Preisen zu Buche schlagen, so setzen sich die schnellen, lautlosen, kühlen und stromsparenden Laufwerke doch auch dank sinkender Preise und auskurierter Kinderkrankheiten immer mehr als Systemlaufwerk für Gaming- und Produktivsysteme durch. Und in der Tat, es gibt derzeit kaum ein Upgrade, das die Produktivität und Performance eines zeitgemäßen Systems ähnlich steigert wie der Einbau einer SSD.
Wir wollen uns heute ein aktuelles Performance-Modell aus dem Hause OCZ ansehen, das mit dem seit einiger Zeit für erschwingliche MLC-SSD's mit SATA2-Schnittstelle schnellsten Controller Sandforce SF 1200 ausgestattet ist: Die OCZ Vertex 2 60GB.
I still distinctively recall myself saying this out loud back in the early 2000s. "60GB? What can I do with that!?" As we approach the end of 2010, I caught myself saying the same thing -- albeit in an entirely different context. "60GB? What can I do with that!?" In the days where 1000GB hard drives are a dime a dozen, the rise of solid state drives in recent years among enthusiasts and high end computer users has always been focused on one thing: Performance. Sure, you can fill up a 60GB drive with a couple movies and a few songs, but that's not the point. Because the cost-per-gigabyte of an SSD is probably more than thirty times higher than a traditional mechanical hard drive at the time of writing this review, most users probably can't afford to use them for mass storage -- and at the same time, it is not a practical solution at the time being, either. After all, you probably don't go through everything in your hard drive every single day, right? Therefore, here is a popular solution for people trying to squeeze more performance out of their system: Buy a modest capacity SSD for your operating system and all your programs, and a big fat hard drive to store everything else. The OCZ Vertex 2 60GB solid state drive we are reviewing today is designed for this very purpose. Powered by the popular SandForce SF-1200 controller, promising up to 285MB/s and 275MB/s read and write speed respectively, 0.1ms access latency, and up to 50,000 IOPS, how well does this high performance storage device improve your computing experience? Read on to find out!
OCZ is one of the leading SSD vendors and they have been producing quite number of SSD products with different types of form factors. Among all these form factors, 2.5" SATA II drive is the most common and popular one since it could be used for desktop, laptop as well as external storage. OCZ Vertex 2 is one of the high performance OCZ's SSDs and let us take a closer look into it.
SSDs have really come a long way over their short existence. From the meager 60MB/s reads to the 285MB/s read bandwidth found on the Vertex 2 you can see how the new Sandforce 1200 controller has improved SSD performance over SATA3.
Als zweite SSD Sandforce-Controller sehen wir uns die OCZ Vertex 2 genauer an und arbeiten die Stärken und Schwächen des Intel- und Indilinx-Konkurrenten im Detail heraus. Dabei gehen wir insbesondere auch auf eine Eigenheit der Sandforce-Chips, die Datenkompression zwecks höherer Übertragungsgeschwindigkeit, ein.
