OCZ Vertex SSD Boasts 250MB/s Read, 240MB/s Write Speeds

OCZ has stated before that it delayed its Vertex drives due to firmware upgrades. DailyTech has now learned more details on why OCZ held back shipments of its flagship SSD drives.

The latest firmware for OCZ's Vertex series boosts sequential read and write performance, so much so that it can compete with Intel's X-25E Extreme series on performance. However, the Vertex boasts a much greater capacity and a much lower price.

The Vertex series, which uses an Indilinx Barefoot SSD controller, was originally specified at 200MB/s sequential read and 160MB/s sequential write. However, OCZ's internal tests show up to 250MB/s sequential read and 240MB/s sequential write speeds.
