OCZ Core Series SSD vs VelociRaptor, Sneak Peek!

Iria · Jul 19, 2008, 09:11 PM

In preparation for an SSD round-up here at HotHardware, we started getting in eval samples from various vendors and one of them perhaps has made a bit more of a splash than others recently, with its $200 price tag, after rebates (64GB model, 128GB is $399 - $449) and specified 120 - 140MB/sec read and 80 - 93MB/sec write performance. So, we decided to give you all a quick-take look at it before we dig into the pile of SSDs we have here in the lab. The OCZ Core Series SATA II 64GB Solid State Drive is here on the test bench and we pitted it against some stiff competition as you'll see...

How are they getting the write performance out of SSD these days?

My thoughts were leaning toward a caching controller with a large RAM buffer, delayed write, and battery/super capacitor backup to enable deferred writes to be completed in the event of uncontrolled powerdown.
