Vertex 3 specs and benchmarks

How exactly did you prove to yourself that an Indilinx is faster that an X25-M in the real world? Where is the evidence? (Please don't bother linking me to your web site).

haha, show the evidence, but not my own findings. Funny, but get off your high horse.
The attached pic from Anandtech is one example, I have loads of others.

The proof that 4K random is not the be all and end all.

Take one SATA 6Gbps SSD the Plextor PX-256M2S. It's an Intel 510 / Corsair P3 clone. All 3 of these SSDs are completely spanked by the SF-1200 based SSDs, the C300, and the Intel G2/G3 SSDs for random read/write performance.

I have reviewed the Plextor drive, and many sites have reviewed the Intel 510.
If 4K is the real benchmark of real world performance, then why does the Plextor PX-256M2S and the Intel 510 spank the SF-1200, C300, and Intel G2/G3 in the real world tests run by myself, and the same again in the Anandtech storage bench?

My results.
Anandtech Intel 510 (please see the storage bench pages in that review).

If all the metrics say 4K for real world, does it not strike you as odd that two SSDs with mediocre 4K performance but excellent sequential performance spanks the SSDs which are the known 4K front runners?

@ F@32
There is nothing radical about the analyzer, or the traces used for measuring, it simply measures what is put through it.

I write my articles for the MyCE members, no one else. They happen to be almost exclusively "mainstream consumer" desktop users, who actually do a lot of video, audio, and picture editing/recoding/transcoding. There are over half a million members, and i'm not going to argue with them that their usage pattern is, odd.

So to answer another question. Yes the transfer size of the files is on the large side for some of the "reality tests". The multitasking test, I would say is much the same sort of tests that anyone else might run, and not to far off what Anandtech run.
