Synthetic HDD Benchmarking

The OCZ Vertex 3 Pro simply crushed the competition in the SiSoft SANDRA Physical Disk benchmark. In terms of read performance, the Vertex 3 Pro offered roughly 103MB/s of additional bandwidth versus the next fastest drive, the Marvell-based SATA 6G Corsair Performance 3 Series. In addition, the Vertex 3's write performance was even more impressive. According to SANDRA, the Vertex 3's write performance is more than double that of the fastest SATA-based SSDs currently available.
