OCZ Vertex 3 240GB SSD VTX3-25SAT3-240G Review

PC Stats takes a look at the OCZ Vertex 3 240GB SSD VTX3-25SAT3-240G




On the test bench today is a speedy little black box called the OCZ Vertex 3. If you haven't spoiled your computer yet with a Solid State Drive (SSD) yet, now's the time -- SSDs have never been more affordable!

The Vertex 3 is a great little 240GB SSD and just the right capacity to install Windows 7 along with a bunch of programs onto, without worrying for drive space. Since this SSD is rated for 6Gb/s SATA III, you'll find it quicker than first generation SATA II drives and light years faster than a standard mechanical hard drive when it comes to booting up or launching programs. Hard drives are great for storing massive amounts of data, don't get me wrong there, it's just when it comes to your PCs operating system, a Solid State Drive increases responsiveness dramatically.

Okay, let's talk numbers -- OCZ's Vertex 3 240GB SSD is rated for a maximum Read speed of 510MB/s and maximum Write speed of 280MB/s in AS SSD. That's quick. 4KB random read is pegged at 53,500 IOPS, 4KB random write 56,000 IOPS. Under the cover you'll find 24nm Multi-Level Cell (MLC) NAND Flash and the popular LSI SandForce SF-2281 controller. The OCZ VTX3-25SAT3-240G is a 2.5" drive, 9.3mm thick and it ships with a 3.5" metal adaptor plate so it can more easily be installed into desktop computer systems. This SSD supports TRIM, SMART and NCQ. The 240GB Vertex 3 SSD retails for around $189 USD/CDN, putting the cost of storage at about $0.78/GB. According to OCZ, the VTX3-25SAT3-240G SSD draws ~3W peak power, 1.65W while idle.
