OCZ Vertex 3 240GB Max IOPS Edition SSD Review

AS-SSD Synthetic Benchmark

We continue on with our battery of benchmarks with the AS-SSD suite.

AS-SSD (1.6.4013.39530) Benchmark – Intel P67 Platform

We have been running the AS-SSD Benchmark app for over some time now and found that it gives a broad result set. The programmer has worked very hard on this software and continues to make updates often so if you use it, show him some love and send him a donation. There are now three tests that are found within the tool and we’ll show the results from all of them.

Benchmark Results: The OCZ Vertex 3 Max IOPS 240 GB again showed its superiority over the other OCZ drives and posted the best overall score of any drives. The Intel 510 drive does top the list by far in the 4k reads and that’s about the biggest margin of difference you’ll see the Max IOPS drive trail.

Benchmark Results: Write speeds increase as the compressibility of the data increases just like we’ve seen with all the SandForce drives but the starting point is a lot higher than most of the other drives we’ve seen which is very nice to see.

Let’s do some real world tests!
