OCZ's new Vertex 3 3.5" solid state drive is great choice for the consumer looking to put a high-performance SSD in their workstation or desktop PC. With its desktop-ready form factor, the drive fits in existing 3.5" drive bays without the need for an adapter. The Vertex 3 3.5" also combines LSI's SandForce SF-2282 controller with Intel's 25nm synchronous NAND flash to deliver some impressive performance. In our sequential read and write tests, the drive was able to read at speeds as high as 556 MB/s and write at speeds in excess of 480 MB/s. It also took the top spot in our random write tests, delivering more than 80,000 IOPS.
