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

**iboomalot** · 01-20-2009, 06:05 AM

6Gb/sec = 750 MB/sec raid a pair of Vertex you are there but why complain just a year or two ago most people were happy to hit 150 MB/sec much less 5 times that

whats next PCIexpress-16 with fiber to the controller **drool**

fastest loading :banana::banana::banana::banana: ,,, I mean gaming

6Gb/sec = 600 MB/sec because of 8/10 encoding. And 4 Vertexes give 560 IIRC.

No, Vertex (1) should give 150/200 each.

6000/8=750

Yes its the vertex2 listed as 480/550.

**m^2** · 01-20-2009, 01:11 PM

Raw bandwidth is 750 MB/s, but because of error detection included in the stream, there's only 600 for data.

And remember the OCZ Vertex 2 report? It turned out to be 4 Vertexes in RAID 0 attached to a controller with cache off. And did 5xx MB/s.

Has anyone spotted them for sale yet?

Won't be available to resellers until Jan 31st, minimum - that's direct from OCZ.

Everywhere I've seen it mentioned says the same thing but techincally anything over 25MB/s is in RAID. The intel is running off 10 25MB/s channels.

Thanks for the link

Now I know what kind of performance i can expect from my upcoming 4 x vertex raid 0

**alfaunits** · 01-21-2009, 03:28 PM

True, I don't know why controllers don't go over this number of channels (maybe pricing, maybe some other limitation).
However, with channels I believe we are talking MUCH lower granularity than 4KB which is the minimal stripe size on RAID controllers. In other words, the channels would RAID internally at <4KB, and the RAID chip would RAID the channel chips at >4KB.
Exactly what size OCZ uses, I don't know, they hopefully did some testing for the best one, which might even be 4KB.

Any updates?

**dengyong** · 01-31-2009, 12:12 PM

Aren't these the same drives as the gskill titan. 200/160

**m^2** · 01-31-2009, 12:22 PM

Vertex? No. Probably Titan=Apex.

**XS Janus** · 01-31-2009, 12:33 PM

They have cache inside them, and thus should remove the need for external RAID controllers with cache, If you wanna be sure to avoid stutter issues...
The promise is that this is gonna be the SSD to get. At least until newer controllers chips come later this year and send this stutter issue to past.

**Orangeblast** · 01-31-2009, 02:28 PM

I'm waiting to get dual 30GBs....look for them Monday probably....hopefully!

the controllers is needed, jmicron truly dropped the ball on theirs.
cache helps but a good controller is what we need.

I have 4 30gb pre-ordered from Amazon.com. I am waiting on them to be released too. Hopefull ymonday they will be released.

Multichannel flash controllers have nothing to do with RAID. "Internal RAID" means there's a RAID controller which divides I/O to/from 2 or more flash controllers.

Cache is the problem with JMF602 as it has only 16kB of it. External SDRAM cache would certainly fix the abysmal IOPS.

I stand corrected.

**RealTelstar** · 02-02-2009, 01:48 PM

I just wanna see it in stock.

**XS Janus** · 02-02-2009, 02:11 PM

I just wanna SEE it!

**Orangeblast** · 02-02-2009, 02:57 PM

yea...I'm waiting to purchase. Its tough waiting this out....I'm sure it will be worth it. I can't finish my system until it 2 30GBs in RAID0 for my OS.
