OCZ to come out with new VERTEX SSD,S equiped with 64MB OF CACHE starting at $129

**alfaunits** · 01-09-2009, 05:40 AM

Don't you just hate it when new tech is just around the corner, but still far?

And hmm, right.. warp v3 speeds are similar to Vertex, so prolly similar pricing.

WHAT?!?!?!?

That better not be true for the U.S. I can't wait that long. That is like eternity

At least someone answer this question. Is the delay because of manufacturing????? Or is it because of old stock that needs to go first??? HMMM?

Just set it up with any hdd and clone the whole OS as soon as you get your hands on a Vertex.

OCZ has advised against this...results aren't so good.

The drive becomes misaligned. If it was never properly aligned to begin with using TI won't make any difference.

And what would be the reason for that?

I cloned severel OSes on several SSD and HDD arrays the last week while testing some SSDs.. guess what, results were perfectly identical with "normal" and cloned install, and why wouldn't they be

News from Tony OCZ :

Hehe just read it from the same source

**Brahmzy** · 01-10-2009, 05:49 PM

Woot! Next week. I think I can wait that long...

What's crazy is OCZ is releasing the Vertex 2. 500mbs+ read. Just nuts. SATAII cannot handle that.

I know I'm buying into a seriously depreciating technology right now, but I cannot wait any longer...

Holy S**t!! I would be pleased and satisfied with the v1 already but if you see that and think that v2 will be released at CeBit...grrr

**flopper** · 01-11-2009, 04:10 AM

if u wait, its always something else coming u can wait 4

**RealTelstar** · 01-12-2009, 05:11 AM

I'd like to see some tests on the Vertex 1... and news about sata3 mainboards

, although, there is no problem to raid 2 or 3 of the vertex1 units to get to ~600MB/s performance which is the limit for intel ichr chipset.

I've cloned my 200gb 7200rpm notebook HDD onto my new 128gb G.Skill SSD about 6 times now (had some driver conflicts getting OSx86 to run on my notebook dual booting) and i have not had a single issue with data corruption using Acronis.

If OCZ is having corruption issues when doing disc images, I'm going to stay away from their drives until they sort out the issues.

Oh... and I never experienced a single stutter, hesitation, etc with this G.Skill 128gb SSD. I don't want to jump to conclusions... but I will anyways.

It sounds like they're having quality issues in their attempt to corner the market with inexpensive (cheap), fast, and high benchmarking drives. I've been known to be wrong though.

Has nothing to do with corruption. We are talking about drive alignment. As you most likely never aligned the drive to begin with using TI will show no noticeable difference.

I know all well how to align the partition to be written to. Most people typically align full partitioned SSD's at 32k with a default allocation of 4096k. And of course the partition offsets vary according to stripe size if you're running RAID.

I didn't just get my first PC a few weeks ago. More like 25 years ago.

beers on me.

Gimme an ETA please

2 Februari in stock, IF they don't get delay.
Man, if i count all the page refreshes i did between Christmas and new years day on Vertex availabilty

Last time for me I trust OCZ announcements !
Apex was announced 2 weeks after Vertex, and ships 2 weeks before Vertex

**ewitte** · 01-17-2009, 01:19 PM

I'm really excited about the Vertex 2 specs.

Serial ATA III
550MB/s read
480MB/s write

internalized quad raid 0

I'm excited too, but I'm sick of waiting to get into SSD. The technology is moving so fast, you could just wait and wait and wait. Shoot SATA3 will mean new mobo with ICH11R for me anyway and that's way Q4 '09. Sick of waiting. I'll pick up the Vertex and be happy for a while.

I'm just playing around with a plain $129 G.SKILL 64GB drive. Thats enough to keep me busy for 6 months. I mean I already waited about 12 months for SSD to give it time to mature and the prices to drop.

Interesting its more than triple the speed of the Vertex 1. LMAO if they increase it just 50% more your already saturating the SATA III bus.
