Final Words & Conclusion It's not a secret that with the SF1200 series SSDs, OCZ brings a great new SSD series to the market. On certain applications we see baffling numbers reaching advertised speeds. The most shocking results we see however are in PC...
Given what we had already seen from the previous Sandforce-based SSDs, the Vertex 2 was never going to disappoint in terms of performance. However taking into account OCZ's current pricing strategy and the sequential and IOPS (Input/Output Operations ...
Abstract: These three new SandForce-1200 based models performed very well in our testing, competing with Intel in IOPS and completely dominating in write performance. The only thing really holding these drives back from total market domination is the price. That awesome write performance comes at the cost of heavy over-provisioning, which leads to less flash available for..
Abstract: A few weeks ago, my main desktop computer decided cash in on me. And before you ask, yes, as the Editor-in-Chief here at APH Networks, I do have tons of replacement components readily available on hand. The thing is, I am not about to reinstall Windows...

Abstract: 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 w...

More expensive than Indilix based drives...
While this is a fairly new controller for the SSD market, the SandForce SF-1222 really showed what it was designed for, and that is the increased overall read and write speeds. Sure, the read speeds are important, but the money matters on how fast the...
To say that the Vertex 2 is a worthy successor to the original Indilinx-based Vertex is an understatement of epic proportions. In almost every possible way imaginable it simply is a better product from top to bottom and proved this time and again on it...
Abstract: The entrance of SSDs into the market has really brought up the question if its worth the upgrade. The value for the space provided does not suit everyone’s budget, however it is a worthy upgrade if you are looking to increase the speed of your everyday...
