OCZ Core Series SSD vs. WD VelociRaptor Preview
HotHardware has briefly tested the new
64GB OCZ Core Series SATA-II solid state drive against the 300GB Western Digital VelociRaptor hard drive.
Here’s an excerpt:
“As you can see, in terms of read performance, the OCZ Core Series SSD has virtually identical performance across its entire 64GB volume once you hit 64kb block sizes. The OCZ Core drive's average read performance clocks in at over 140MB/s and it was actually able to outpace the VelociRaptor here by a significant margin of about 11MB/s or 8%. When we look at average write performance, the tables turn dramatically and the OCZ Core SSD drive tops out at 87MB/sec with the VelociRaptor offering nearly identical read/write performance”
The 64GB OCZ Core Series SSD can be found for between $240-280, which is approximately three times cheaper than other 64GB models. Hopefully other manufacturers release similarly affordable models soon.
