What do you mean by "outperform"? If you're talking only about max throughput, then yes that statement is true. If you look at most other aspects, this is typically, not true. I think people need to remember that there is more to a drive's performance than just max read/write speeds.Quote:

Should my above statement be amended to something more accurate?
I forgot to put typically in my post-Quote:

but how does it perform relative to the cross section of other ssd's available!"
Anyone getting close to spec numbers on the Vertex in both Read and Write?
So do these stutter at all? I'm considering a 30gb or 60gb vertex for a new asus 1000he netbook. I'm not going to put up with any problems such as stuttering though; in that case I'd just happily grab an intel x-25m and completely forget about ocz stuff.
I ordered a 60gb and got it for little over 200$ after rebates and discounts. Should be here next Wednesday. Will let you know if it stutters.
looks like vertex play very nice with adaptic raid card

from OCZ forums
I don't see how that first screenshot of the 2 vertexs showing over 800mb/s is real. There has got to be something else going on to achieve those numbers. That is DOUBLE the amount of read speed of the combined drives total read speed. :eek:

Any way, I can't trust 800 MB/s of just 2 vertexes.
Hmmm.
Does the larger capacity Vertex stack up to a G Skill Titan? I'm playing with that now and am taking a wait and see on the degradation issue. @ $300 for 128GB it's priced better than the OCZ product.
Any ATTO on a single Vertex using the onboard controller?
Here's an ATTO of my Titan on the D5400XS

It's just the cache of the raid card.Quote:

The Apex is also internally RAID0´ed or not?
So has anyone somewhere done some real life file copy and multitasking tests or are we still throwing all those hundreds of MB synthetics around in awe and waiting for some bad news to hit the fan when first batches are sold out?
Where are all those review sites at?
All I see is lots of trusting people buying their drives blindly and testing ATTO, IOmeter... +one maybe two slim and early reviews...
Apex = TitanQuote:

I'm very close to purchasing 3 120GB Vertex's. The read speeds are almost exactly what my Titans do, but the writes are a different story. Write performance is pretty solid on the new Vertex's.
The OCZ forums have a bunch of people's first hand experience using their brand new Vertex's. Yeah, there's a lot of noobs on there running synthetic benchmarks, but there's also quite a few threads with some valuable info.
Nobody has reported any stuttering as of yet except for one guy. He has 2 Vertex's in R0, and said he gets pauses when copying HUGE amounts of data to the array, but the info is sketchy in his post.... so far I think people are pleased.
But yeah, I need more info before dropping another $1,200...
OR, I just keep my Titans since they're working just fine, just a little slower on the writes....
Brahmzy, really don't see the point if you have SSD already, the improvement will be minimal for a large amount of money dropped.
Yes, apex are internally raid 0. So, basically...60gb apex is technically two 30gb ssds in Raid 0.Quote:

No sign of stutter what so ever!
No tweaks yet except disk Alignment and WB cache enabled.
Better how? Single drive to single drive how could it be better?Quote:

It is much better at small random writes. 10-20 per second on the Titan and 2450 per second on vertex. That is the biggest difference. You may or may not notice it depending on your usage patterns. Vertex also reads faster, but the difference is not too drastic. If you are happy with your drive right now and see no stuttering then just keep it...Quote:

How come your atto scores are low on the Titan drive? When I had my 256g titan with atto it was right at 160write and 250 read. This was on the R2E ICH10r.Quote:
