OCZ Vertex Drives

[Rhys]

I am aware of that but way am I going to spent $550CAD just to compare how it does to an X25-M. And Rhys was calling the Intel SSD guys out on And he was referring to the 30GB drives.

Hi Lowfat

Apparently a new firmware update should be released next week.
If your testing only a single drive then I'm hoping AHCI will be enabled for small file read writes! Apparently Raid is a superset of AHCI, Could this be why the benchmarks show disproportionately better small file performance when on ICH10R raid 0?

Anyway got to admire your willingness to buy a vertex to compare, are you planning on selling it after or will you have a use for it?
