SandForce's Reign of PPPerformance
The SandForce 2281 controller is the key component when communicating with the storage controllers found on motherboards and HBA cards. The current theory is that some where in that communication
Really* fast throughput - saturating SATA 6Gb/sec

Odd stutter observed on our batch file write test (possibly due to beta firmware
And also present in the Vertex 3 Pro beta we tested last week)
Performance at lower queue depths could be improved upon
Price (see below)
Expensive
Larger-capacity version of drive is faster overall
Very expensive.
The OCZ Vertex 3 SSD is significantly more expensive than traditional hard drives

Abstract: The first mSATA-based SSDs we reviewed wowed us with diminutive dimensions, but not as much with performance. Today's best efforts are a lot more like their desktop equivalents, though. We round up 10 models between 64 and 256 GB and nail down a winner. ...
Abstract: On the test bench today is a speedy little black box called the OCZ Vertex 3. If you haven't spoiled your computer yet with a Solid State Drive (SSD) yet, now's the time -- SSDs have never been more affordable!The Vertex 3 is a great little 240GB SSD and ...
Abstract: In preparation for a review of the Vertex 4 from OCZ we were given the Vertex 3 to test. The Vertex 3 has been out for quite some time now so plenty of review material is around for this reasonably priced SSD. So we’ll keep this one short but we’ll ha...
Overall the verdict is.. mixed. It was not surprising to see the multiple Vertex 3 on Intel performed better usually than single drives, except that it usually didn't. On LSI the SSDs performed exactly as expected overall with only a couple of exception...

Strong performance.
Expensive
The 480GB OCZ Vertex 3 is speedy for most tasks, but you?ll pay a fair amount of money for that power....
Extremely fast read and write speeds, Drastically decreases boot time, Simple installation
None really
The OCZ Vertex 3 is fast, there’s no doubt that it will drastically decrease the boot times of your computer and speed up everything you do with that computer. From my testing and experience here, upgrading to an SSD is the way to go when it comes to ...
Since performance is one of the most important factors when selecting SSDs, we're going to talk briefly about that first. Overall, the Vertex 3 performed very well. Comparing the benchmarks between OCZ's own asynchronous NAND based Agility 3 and the synch...
The Vertex 3 240GB SSD from OCZ is surely an impressive product, succeeding to beat all other previously tested SSDs, even if some featured the same SandForce SF-2281 processor. In ATTO, we could obtain write transfer speeds of about 513MB/s and 554...
The OCZ Vertex 3 120GB is exactly what you would expect from a Sandforce based SATA 6Gbps SSD coming out of OCZ Technology's labs. High performance especially in the write department is the norm for the Vertex lineup, even more so than other Sandforce d...
s There are two main reasons to consider moving up to a 240/248GB SSD. First, of course, is more capacity. 128 GB is enough to install most essentials on, but if you want to be able to fully enjoy the major speed increase of an SSD, you will want to in...
