OCZ Vertex 3.20 240GB SSD Review
Chris Hadley / 11 years ago
Anvil’s Storage Utilities is a new benchmarking utility that we have started using here at eTeknix, it’s completely free to download and has the ability to test mainly hard drives and solid state drives, but also any other form of storage medium that you can throw at it. As well as testing the drive in a variety of benchmarking tests, it also has a drive endurance test that consistently reads and writes data to the selected medium to give days, months and potentially even years of use in a shorter period of time to see how the drive copes in the longer term.
As we’ve seen from AS SSD and CrystalDiskMark, the 3.20 do suffer a little from incompressible data, but this is to be expected with this type of memory.
Looking at the compressible data results, we can see that the sequential 4MB write speeds have shot right up to just below 500MB/s, a shade below the 520MB/s rated speed.
