Unboxing of OCZ VERTEX SSD DRIVE

[iameXtreme]

yea rameez.....ocz ones have almost the same performance as intel ssd's. intel ones are slightly faster but then if you come to look at the price difference atleast it didnt seem justifiable to me. and to be honest small difference in performance is really not worth the extra money intel is charging but still...do put them on raid and your system will fly really. congrats to you as well

 

[rameez]

@alienware.. u r rite man... there is big diff in price.. lets c how much is the difference in performance.. as soon as i get time ..i'll install and post.. and thanks for ur comments

Congratz Looks Cool surely u will be enjoyng ur rig

I have Heard that there are some tutorials on net to create your own ssd drive

OMG 340 pounds for a drive that is just the size of a Marlboro ka dabba

 

[iameXtreme]

haha jinxd i know what you mean....to be honest i was surprised by the size as well.....but the performance is beyond amazing.

 

[opethian]

excellent read/write bench there ... must use HDTAC as well ...
wow these ssdz will surely do wonders in coming future ... wish samsung pram tech may get cheaper n used widely for all purposes ... n same kinda thing to be used in ssdz as well ...

SIMPLY AWESOME MAN!!!! wooo

 

[raheelc]

[Em0s]

OMG !

40 K for SSD :S

But, u won't regret the performance for sure !

 

[deltree]

im wondering in 340 quids one could do a multi raid environment and beat this sucker wid a magnetic drive or maybe a few tiny ssd's raided more....it would be madness....u shud raid this definitely considering uv got money u nd u want da best so u shud!!!

oh by the take a read rate and a write rate, compare it with lets say a fast magnetic drives read rate and write rate...divide that by the price....lets see whats got better value for money i wud love an ssd but but but they have a long way to go and mature....not at these prices!!

 

[iameXtreme]

well im not planning on puttin this on raid at the moment since spending another 400 pounds on an ssd drive doesnt seem right to me. savin up for new stuff that would be launched pretty soon. but later on will definitely put this on raid.

 

[rameez]

@alienware. where did u placed this SSD... in case .. do u have any bay adaptor for this... or bundled with this SSD ????

 

[iameXtreme]

no i just placed it on top of my current hdd. i didnt get any bay adapter or anything like that. im gonna be changing my casing soon so will find a proper spot for it in there.....

4 Hard drives in Raid 0 config You can get More than 320MB/sec transfer rate. So I think this will be better than a 320 pound ssd .

^ Lolx are you kidding or what?

SSD is a different story when it comes to high speed acccess storage mediums..I dont think even a couple of HDD in RAID 0 can compete the SSD as they are just meant for high speed performace at a high end price..

 

[iameXtreme]

well i to be honest have no idea if couple of normal HDD's can be put on raid to match the ssd's performance because if that wouldve been possible....SSD'S wouldve been a major flop...which they arent...every1 is using em...in laptops in pc's everywhere.

 

[Necrokiller]

Not everyone... just some people are using it. To me SSDs make much more sense in laptops, where weight and size/dimensions of the laptops are very important on the go. In desktops, Id rather have relatively lower access times than limit my available space to less than half of what I have right now. It'll surely be more common when they're cheaper.

Congrats anyways man... that things is effin small!!

 

[milestone]

congrats on your purchase

SSD is good as it is less susceptible to damage due to shock. Ideal for laptops.

But i agree, standard hdd drives offer more space.

 

[Necrokiller]

Ive never even heard of desktop owners losing a hard drive due to shock. (not to say its false)
