OCZ Vertex 2 100GB SandForce SF-1200 SSD Review

AS SSD Benchmark

A new benchmark is in the works for Solid State Drives – AS SSD Benchmark. We have run this benchmark for nearly a year now and found that it is a great SSD benchmark that shows 4K read and write speeds that so many of our readers want to know about.

Intel ICH10R with AHCI Enabled:

Benchmark Results: The 4K tests were observed at 21MB/s read and 58MB/s write in AHCI mode on the Intel ICH10R controller and 21MB/s and 69MB/s on the Marvell 9123 controller. The 4K-64Thrd benchmark results were decent as were the sequential read and write speeds of 124MB/s and 119MB/s on Intel and 124MB/s and 107MB/s on Marvell.

Intel ICH10R with AHCI Enabled:

Marvell 9123 SATA III 6Gbps Controller with AHCI Enabled:

Copy Benchmark Results: The Copy benchmark test showed some fairly solid performance numbers with the average transfer speed being 103MB/s Intel and 104MB/s on Marvell.
