OCZ Vertex Drives

[Tamerlane]

I have no idea why Vertex drives are seeing a drop in the reads... That logically should not happen and doesn't happen to all the X-25 drives. The degradation should only apply to the writes.

I am trying to follow the comparison here but I may be misreading, or not have seen, some of the data.

Doesn't lowfat's CrystalDiskMark benchmark on the X-25M show the exact same or worse degradation of reads and writes as the the same bench performed on the Vertex by "Bob Dobalina" in the OCZ forum?

Or is there otherwise a pattern of evidence that Vertex degrades more?
