Hot on the heels of our Vertex 3 review, OCZ Technology is back with the promise of an even faster drive, the Vertex 3 Max IOPS. Frankly, given the performance of the Vertex 3 it is hard to fathom that OCZ could so quickly fine-tune that powerhouse of...
Given the nature of the Vertex 3 Max IOPS, we thought it would be interesting to include the original Vertex in our tests to see just how far these drives have come in a short two years. Even just last year, the performance that the Vertex 3 and Verte...

By now we've covered almost the entire OCZ SSD SATA III lineup and today we round things out with the Max IOPS edition of the Vertex 3. From the outside, it looks pretty much the same as the other Vertex 3 drives save for the "Max IOPS" verbiage on...
The Max IOPS edition of the Vertex 3 line is the one of the fastest overall non-RAID SSD we've had our hands on although the Intel 510 Series is hot on its heels and the Intel brand has a substantial, loyal following...

OCZ was first to market with an SSD based on the SandForce SF-2281 processor. The Vertex 3 ripped through our benchmarks and easily topped all other SSDs in the market. Just two weeks ago, they let us know about the Vertex 3 Max IOPS, which uses a cha...
The OCZ Vertex 3 MAX IOPS SSD offers the perfect blend of enterprise and consumer hardware. By bringing the 32nm Toshiba toggle NAND to the new revision of the Vertex 3, OCZ was able to pick up speed when working with incompressible data while droppin...

With the current price levels of Solid State Drives hitting an all-time low finally pretty much everyone can now afford that level of technology. Of course the price/capacity ratio is nowhere close to that of normal mechanical drives (still) a...
So after reading all the results i am sure many of you are wondering about which SSD is currently the best one in the market. Well if you can afford the extra premium then the RevoDrive3 240GB is without doubt faster than every other SSD in thi...

So far this year, we have looked at a wide variety of SSD drives in the $200 price range. We have reviewed just about every combination of controller/flash brand, from various manufacturers from OCZ to Crucial, to ADATA, to Patriot. After all this, our...
sThe Vertex 3 Max IOPS is OCZ’s most expensive SATA based drive currently, as it sits at $240 – a good $30-40 higher than other high performance SATA SSD drives. There are other drives in this price range from the likes of Kingston, Corsair, and Patrio...

Despite being a highly advanced and very fast device, the Vertex 3 Max IOPS 240GB drive left us with mixed feelings. It is an undoubtedly very carefully made product and utilizes the most commonly used controller and the possibly best synchronous MLC...

Today we are reviewing the OCZ Vertex 3 Max IOPS 240GB SSD. So far, we have looked at the ‘normal’ 240GB Vertex 3, along with the 120GB Max IOPS. So it will be interesting to see how all three drives compare, with an updated set of benchmarks and firm...
s After hours of testing, secure wiping, and testing some more, we can come to the conclusion that the OCZ Vertex 3 Max IOPS 240GB is quite possibly the fastest SandForce SSD around. We have to add a few things to qualify that statement however: 1) It...

In early May, I made a few changes to our performance charts by clustering all of the SSDs together by capacity size. At the time, 24nm Toggle Mode flash was really starting to take off and products like the Plextor M3 Pro and SanDisk Extreme started...
When it comes to OCZ's stable of products the Vertex 4 is the new IOPS monster. When you start searching for balanced performance for desktop use in the lower capacity sizes though, the Vertex 3 Max IOPS still appears to be a better choice. With high...

We're back with another SSD review for you today. The last OCZ Drive we looked at was the Vertex 3 240 GB . We've seen one other SATA 6Gb/s drive since – the Crucial M4 256 GB . Today we look at the purported IOPS powerhouse, the OCZ Vertex 3 Max IOPS.The...
Fast. Really, really fast. That's the best way to describe this drive. Its IOPS are second to none, unless you count PCIe-based drives, for which you're also going to pay a very hefty price premium. This drive beats out the older SATA II drive by leaps...
