Vertex 3 specs and benchmarks

[felix_w]

Vertex 3 MaxIO is just around the corner...
Wonder how much it distinguishes itself from the "normal" Vertex 3 , it better add another ~10K+ iops or so

The MaxIO Edition started appearing/listing in Norwegian webshops this morning, according to the listings it will be $50-$100 extra depending on capacity.

It just never ends...

I'm a bit behing on my testing of the V3, had to redo most tests as it had started degrading at some point and I don't know when.
It's looking better this time around.

So, this MaxIO edition is using better binned NAND, or just better tuned FW ?

Is there any Spec Sheet available ?


EDIT --> As Tony said here, the differences are :

Q : Just firmware?
A : No, different nand type...so totally different drive
