OCZ 64GB SATA-I Solid State Drive Review


Sun 2008-04-27 - Posted by Patrick "MACMAC" MacMillan
PC Perspective has posted a review of the OCZ OCZSSD64GB, a 2.5" 64GB SATA-I solid state drive.

Let’s see what they had to say:

“Overall, OCZ's first foray into the world of solid state drives is actually pretty good, if not as good as we had hoped. The incredibly fast seek times as well as the low power draw and noiseless operation definitely add up to something that is worth considering but the slow sustained and average transfer rates really bring the whole package down a notch. We will have an updated SATA-II version of this drive in very soon and will get it up on the test bench ASAP to post another comparison here that we hope will really blow away the first SSD's results.”


The main reason I posted this review is to point out that if you are considering an OCZ SSD, make sure that it is one of the newer SATA-II versions. They are effectively twice as fast as the previous generation drives, and support RAID, which is a nice feature to have whether you use it or not.
