The third-generation of Vertex sets new standards & completely uses the performance of the first SSD SATA 6 Gb / s interface. With up to 550/520 MB/s (read/write) & 60, 000 IOPS (4KB random write) the Vertex 3 underlines the claim of OCZ technology to raise the bar a step further as the market leader in price, performance & reliability. It is the new reference, to which each SSD must conform.
