OCZ Vector SSD review with Barefoot 3 SSD controller

Lets review the all new OCZ Vector series SSD. OCZ has developed this product with their all new Indilinx Barefoot 3 controller 256GB of NAND flash memory. The end result is an SSD that is extremely fast and amongst the fastest we have ever tested. OCZ submitted the Vector 256GB model with impressive specs. The 256GB models have sustained read/write levels of 550 MB/sec and 530 MB/sec respectively. And with 4K random write performance estimated at 90~100 IOPS it's launching with the intent to impress.

Thanks for the review.

This SSD is a beast and the prices look pretty much ok too. The only things missing are higher single- and low-numer-threaded random reads

You prices comment is a bit wrong. The Euro is not almost equivalent to an US Dollar. At current exchange rates 250 Euros is roughly $324.02

I was excited about the price until I checked the conversion rates...

Great article though!

computer components usually cost the same in dollars as they do in euros nevermind the exchange rates

Yeah I guess you're right. Amazon has the 256 gb version for $270.

Pretty close. My apologies!
