OCZ Vertex 3 Pro SandForce SF-2000 Based SSD Preview

CrystalDiskMark is a synthetic benchmark that tests both sequential as well as random small and large file transfers.  It does a nice job of providing a quick look at best and worst case scenarios with regard to SSD performance, best case being larger sequential transfers and worse case being small, random transfers. 

CrystalDiskMark Benchmarks Synthetic File Transfer Tests

OCZ Vertex 3 Pro	Corsair Performance 3 Series
OCZ Vertex 2	Intel X25-M G2

The OCZ Vertex 3 Pro, once again, dominates the competition in the various CrystalDiskMark tests. While its impressive gains over the other drives in sequential and 512K transfers are noteworthy, it's the Vertex 3 Pro's excellent performance with 4K transfers with a queue depth of 32 that really shows how strong the drive is under more demanding workloads than current-gen drives.
