OCZ Vertex Drives

[lowfat]

wow performance degradation seems MUCH heavier on vertex drives than even Intel drives.

Two X25-E degraded to the maximum (nearly a month of usage + a bunch of iometer runs):



The sequential writes are between 150-250MB/s, the 512kb writes are pretty stable and the 4kb writes are between 90-120MB/s. The reads are all dead stable.

Here is my X25-M after one run of IOmeter. Less than 2 hours after doing a clean install on it too.



Happens everytime I do a large Iometer run. It took me a while to figure out what was causing it.
