OCZ Core Series SSD vs VelociRaptor, Sneak Peek! @ HotHardware.com - 07/19/08 01:14 AM
Hello Everyone,
There has obviously been a fair amount of buzz going on in the market about
SSD (Solid State Disks) as of late, as pricing continues its downward trend.
In addition, performance has continued to improve with SSDs as the
technology matures. Recently, announcements from major OEMs like Samsung
have promised fairly impressive offerings with read/write performance that
would rival most standard spinning disks and of course sub 1ms access times
that literally no standard rotational media could come close to.
In preparation for an SSD round-up here at HotHardware, we started getting
in eval samples from various vendors and one of them perhaps has made a bit
more of a splash than others recently, with its $200 price tag, after
rebates (64GB model, 128GB is $399 - $449) and specified 120 - 140MB/sec
read and 80 - 93MB/sec write performance. So, we decided to give you all a
quick-take look at it before we dig into the pile of SSDs we have here in
the lab. The OCZ Core Series SATA II 64GB Solid State Drive is here on the
test bench and we pitted it against some stiff competition as you'll see...
