Wed 2008-05-14 - Posted by Patrick "MACMAC" MacMillan

Benchmark Reviews has just tested the OCZ OCZSSD2-1S32G, a 2.5-inch 32GB SATA-II solid state drive.

Here’s what they had to say:

“In conclusion, the OCZ SATA-II Solid State Drive is an excellent product for extending notebook battery life and increasing overall system performance. With prices much closer to affordable, gamers and hardware enthusiasts may also benefit from the new technology, and utilize the OCZSSD2 to power their high-performance computer system. The performance is difinately there, and the price has become less of an issue; so it might be time to give Solid State Drives a try! I highly recommend the OCZ SATA-II OCZSSD2-1S32G 32GB 2.5-Inch Solid State Drive, as it has set read speed records at a cost more in-line with enthusiast expectations.”

Although OCZ’s first-generation SATA-I solid state drives showed potential, they had relatively slow transfer rates. Thankfully, this issue has been resolved with the SATA-II series. This $550 32GB model is still expensive, but it does provide significantly better Bang for the Buck than its competitors, at least until Super Talent releases their highly desirable MasterDrive MX series.
