14 DAY TRIAL // Everyone knows that solid state drives shaped like PCI Express add-in cards are the fastest and most capacious. OCZ is now showing just how fast its latest model is.
At the CeBIT trade show in Hannover, Germany, OCZ brought the Vector SSD, specifically the 960 GB drive.
It isn't the most capacious of its kind, nor the fastest since it doesn't exceed 1 GB/s, but it comes close.
To be specific, the drive was tested and managed to read data at 930 MB/s, while writing happened at 884 MB/s.
That was only possible in special benchmark programs though. In tests that replicate real world scenarios (ISO file copy, program access, game resource access, etc.), it only managed 396 MB/s, give or take.
Still, the newcomer approaches the advertised 1000 MB/s (even achieves it in ATTO) and has a 4K 64-thread performance of 544.71 MB/s, 486.19 MB/s writes. Random access is of 140,000 IOPS.
