The increasingly widespread use of SSDs as an alternative to HDD, making the storage manufacturers competing to bring high-performance SSD products. Variants such as this is the major target of the hunter’s best components, for use on their PC. This time I had the opportunity to test 2 SSD, which has high performance in its class.
Intel SSD 520 Series
Intel’s name in the world of storage may be less well known. But since entering the era of SSD, Intel was one of the players of this flash memory-based storage. Intel 520, an SSD that fall within the range of performance of an Intel SSD output. Unlike the previous series, 510, 520 series uses SandForce’s controller, which is commonly used in upper-class SSD.
So, in general, the specification of Intel 520 is not much different than other SSDs that use a similar controller. Interestingly, for the flash memory, Intel using their own NAND, which is produced with 25nm fabrication process. Intel SSD 520, available in a choice of quite a lot of capacity, ie 60, 120, 180, 240, and 480GB.
OCZ Vertex 3 MAX IOPS
OCZ Vertex 3, SSD is not the most recent output, but the OCZ Vertex SSD freshen their ranks with a new variant that is interesting. Still with the same controller used on Intel SSD 520, SandForce SF-2281, specs on to Intel, OCZ uses 32nm NAND manufactured by Toshiba
Then, the difference between the standard 3 Vertex, a version of the MI is, in addition to the NAND type is used, in terms of performance was different. As the name implies, MAX IOPS, Vertex 3 MI is a promising operation I/O is higher, the effect on the performance of random read/write data. Just like the Vertex 3, MAX IOPS version is only available in 120GB and 240GB models
