Richard Vanderhurst reviews the OCZ Vertex EX OCZSSD2 120GB SATA II SLC
OCZ Vertex EX OCZSSD2-1VTXEX120G 120GB SATA II SLC Internal Solid state disk
There are few products that grab fan attention like SSDs have.
OCZ has made a well-deserved hum round the industry since they launched their Core II, top, and Zenith multi-layer cell SSD products for retail patrons.
Now they’ve gone a stage further, and made a SLC SSD for the demanding establishment server segment. Baseline Reviews welcomes the OCZ peak EX SSD OCZSSD2-1VTXEX120G into the ranks, and our bandwidth performance tests compare the Vertex EX to many other SSDs occupying the pinnacle of the range market. Performance fans have been keeping notes on Solid State Drive technology for a period of time now. SSD products are not main line, not yet, but that day isn’t highly far off any more.
Lower power consumption and heat output are benefits of the technology, but also they are the least galvanizing benefits any Solid State Drive can supply. The genuine payoff is a nearly-instant answer time and incredible high-performance throughput speeds. OCZ may not have made the Solid State Drive, but they’ve done more to bring SSD technology main line than any other company in the entire industry. Once SSDs could at last outperform their HDD opposite number, the dialogue became all about price and capacity. The OCZ Core Series helped offer reasonable Solid State Drive technology to the masses, but capacity and stuttering became new issues.
Adding up to 64MB of Elpida DRAM to the buffer has permanently solved stuttering issues, making raw performance the last bottleneck. An Indilinx ‘Barefoot’ internal controller commands the bank of Samsung K9HCG08U1M DRAM modules, allowing the OCZ Zenith Series SSD to provision a galvanizing capacity with unmatched performance.
Baseline Reviews tests the reaction time and bandwidth performance for the Apex EX SLC SSD against over 2 dozen other products in this article. Baseline Reviews latterly made public an article which details Solid State Drive ( SSD ) Baseline Performance Testing. The research and consultation that went into producing that article changed how we now test SSD products. Our prior perceptions of this technology were lost on one special difference : the wear leveling algorithm that makes information a moving target.
Without decisive linear bandwidth testing or some other technique of total-capacity testing, our prior performance results were coarse guesstimates at best. It’s critically critical to appreciate that no software for the Microsoft Windows platform can exactly measure SSD performance in an equivalent fashion.
Artificial baseline tools such as HD Tach and ATTO Disk Baseline are helpful indicators, but shouldn’t be considered the final determining factor. That factor should be measured in accurate user experience of real-world applications. Baseline Reviews includes both bandwidth baselines and application speed tests to present a decisive measurement of product performance. Entering the memory market in August two thousand, OCZ Technology was built round the doggedness to make the best high speed DDR and RDRAM. OCZ was set up by fans, for fans, and their dedication to the end-user hasn’t digressed. OCZ Technology has been a pathfinder in many areas.
We were the 1st manufacturer to make Twin Channel optimized memory available to the general public, which originally employed nVidia’s Twinbank or Twin DDR design, found in their nForce chipset.
We have now taken that technology and tailored it for the Canterwood, and Granite Bay chipset’s. OCZ developed and was first to execute ULN technology, that has been a critical part in the producing process for a period of time. We at OCZ conscientiously work to improve communication with CPU and motherboard chipset makers before the release of their products. Only in this way are we able to tune the memory’s SPD settings, guaranteeing a synergistic relationship between the memory module, memory controller, and microprocessor. In today’s fast developing semiconductor industry, such communication isn’t simply research, but a compulsory element of the producing process.
