OCZ has promised that the Vector would deliver some very impressive numbers, in part due to the Barefoot 3 controller and to the extra cache the drive comes packed with. Their claims of Sequential reads at 550 MB/s and Sequential writes at 530 MB/s were almost realized. Although I would like to fault OCZ and their marketing team for putting those types of numbers in front of us, the hard truth is that they don’t list anywhere on their results page the hardware that was used to obtain those scores. The vast majority of us may never see scores like that on our rigs. As the dust settles, the truth still remains…the OCZ Vector is a true speed demon!
When compared to the Crucial M4, the OCZ Vector just throws powerful results. If you are looking for a performance SSD or just have some cash to burn, you can’t go wrong here. To wrap things up… OCZ has impressed us with its speed, its looks, and even its name. Bottom line… would I buy one? Oh Yeah!
