Thread: OCZ Vertex 2 external HD

This new range of high-execution SSDs from OCZ up the famous Sandforce controller, namely the SF-1200, is what gives life to turning these new discs as well as others in its class, the elite of SSDs that we can find today.They just have a weakness, in my view, is that the SATA2 interface already an obstructor to proper development and that the SATA3 so soon there to correct these problems.

One of most striking features of this controller for multi-layer memory is that it integrates two of the key benefits of any SSD's own controller. First is the CPU that does all the data control and that is specifically designed for this type of process. In its natural efficiency means that is capable of handling thousands of instructions per second of input and outputs of two and on the other side also integrated into the same "die" cache memory required to accelerate the processes repeated disk access. One hand this eliminates the need for high-speed cache memory on the PCB of the disc and maximizes data processing within the memory controller itself.

Vertex 2 amenities vary by total capacity of the disk. In our model of analysis, among the fastest of the range, 100GB of capacity. We have a read speed of up to 285MB / s maximum write speed of 275MB / s with a sustained speed, also in writing, no less than 250MB / s. All this with a response rate of 50,000 read / write operations in blocks of 4K and a search time of less than 0.1 milliseconds. With the introduction of the new OCZ Sandforce controller has achieved tangible improvement in transfer speeds, especially in the sustained, over the previous generation controllers utilizing Indilinx Barefoot. This improvement has also helped remove the cache disk PCB also reducing costs.
