OCZ Vertex 3 SandForce SF-2000 Based SSD Preview
PCMark Vantage HDD
We really like PCMark Vantage's HDD Performance module for its pseudo real-world application measurement approach to testing. PCMark Vantage offers a trace-based measurement of system response times under various scripted workloads of traditional client / desktop system operation. From simple Windows start-up performance to data streaming from a disk drive in a game engine and video editing with Windows Movie Maker, we feel more comfortable that these tests reasonably illustrate the performance profile of SSDs in an end-user / consumer PC usage model.
This series of Vantage tests will stress read performance in real-world usage models, with a broad mix of sequential and random read transactions of both small and large file sizes.

Last week, we thought the OCZ Vertex 3 Pro's scores were pretty impressive, and yet here we are, only a few days later and the standard Vertex 3 outpaced the Pro drive in every single test, taking the top spot throughout.
