The SLC SSD needs according to OCZ in standby mode 0.5 watts and 2 watts for access - common values for a flash drive with Indilinx controller. The mean time between failures (Mean Time Between Failures, MTBF) is good according to the manufacturer 1.5 million hours.



The OCZ 60GB EX achieved under the SLC models - along with the Kingston SSD Now E-Series SNE125-S2 32GB so far the third best data rates in the practice test. When reading the EX came on excellent agility 104.9 MB / s. The best MLC SSD in this discipline, the hotel's SLC rival OCZ 120GB EXwas here with 110.3 MB / s while 5 percent faster, but costs almost twice per gigabyte. Still gained a lot more put the OCZ 60GB EX during the writing test with outstanding 106.9 MB / s - the second highest value of all the flash drives in the test. Scale is the Transcend SSD TS120GSSD25D-M, with the excellent 93.6 MB / s was faster than twelve percent.
