Delight note that for testing purposes we offset run each SSD through HD Tach's full disk benchmark, which fills the drive with a unmarried face-to-face file and thus forces a block rewrite for every successive write request. This was done to simulate the degradation problem that SSDs without the TRIM part are likely to face.

The OCZ Vertex ii Pro 100GB performed in much the same way later on nosotros ran the Hard disk drive Tach full deejay benchmark every bit it does back up the TRIM office and it appears to piece of work well.

The OCZ Vertex 2 Pro is off to an impressive start with a 13% performance increment over the original Vertex when conducting our 6GB ISO file re-create test. With a throughput of 84MB/s the Vertex 2 Pro is the fastest SSD we have seen taking just 72 seconds to complete the chore. Compared to a modern hard disk drive drive, the Vertex 2 Pro is 39% faster.

Considering we are working with a compressed file, this could make the Vertex 2 Pro look slower than it could be in other circumstances. The SandForce SF-1500 uses some kind of compression to avoid using DRAM cache, and thus compressed files could actually boring the Vertex 2 Pro down. Regardless, it was still the fastest drive nosotros tested here.

The program copy test is mostly made up of many small non-compressed files. The OCZ Vertex 2 Pro flies through this exam with an impressive throughput of 91MB/s. This fabricated the Vertex two Pro roughly 17% faster than the original Vertex and ane.8x faster than a conventional hard drive. The re-create took fifteen.iv seconds when using the Vertex 2 Pro while the Samsung hard drive took 27.5 seconds.

The game copy examination comprises of a mixture of small and large files. Hither the OCZ Vertex 2 Pro managed a throughput of 106MB/s making it 18% faster than the original Vertex. This time the Vertex 2 Pro was 1.9x faster than the Samsung hard disk drive.
