OCZ Vector 180 - 480 and 960GB SSD review - SSD Performance AS SSD Benchmark

AS SSD Benchmark

Included in our benchmark suite is this nice little German application called AS SSD Benchmark. This test gives an extensive result set. The test is popular because it is so user friendly and TBH really trustworthy in its results, so just for reference we always show the results, here we go.
 

OCZ Vector 180 - 480 GB

OCZ Vector 180 - 960 GB

AS-SSD returns a weighed score, I gathered some of the latest SSDs and placed them in a chart, this shows how fast the SSD really is.

Compression Benchmark

This test creates test patterns on the target drive which are random and vary in the level of compression used in the test data. This ranges from 0% compressible to 100% compressible. Basically for this chart you want a straight line as much as possible here (no compression performance loss) based upon the highest performance in MB/sec.
