OCZ Technology Group, a worldwide leader in innovative, ultra-high performance and high reliability memory and computer components, today released the latest addition to their premium Vertex solid state drive series, the Vertex Turbo Edition. The tried-and-true architecture and performance of the original Vertex has been upgraded to meet the demands of enthusiasts and other performance-seeking users who benefit from SSD technology. The Vertex Turbo Series maximizes the potential for ultimate productivity and state-of-the-art computing experience, by increasing both the host clock-speed and the SDR DRAM Cache to 180 MHz versus 166 MHz on the original series.

Just "Turbo" alone gives the ssd confidence needed to run faster than before. I put "Turbo" on all my gear and can tell you it WORKS! :scared:

Now if they can get a supercharger with NOS on it!

I'm going to wait for a few real reviews before passing any hard judgment but I'm not optimistic. I can only hope the that firmware is optimized for small random writes which is the weakest point of the other vertex drives.

270 MB/s read and 210 MB/s write

nice

Another thing to consider...


All they did was overclock the memory in hte hdd... this could lead to some great possibilities for us...

I've heard that there might be a slight possibility that these SSDs will actually be able to 'overclock' (from 180MHz bus to let's say 200MHz), has anyone else heard the same?

Would this require a modded firmware, or how would you go about this?

crustytheclown 07-10-2009 02:26 AM
Probably via a modded firmware - but this requires either someone who can 'crack' it or some inside help from OCZ.

When I first heard it I thought it was just another rumor - but judging from OCZ's past with all these firmwares they gave the users to 'test', I actually think this might be possible.

It would be fun - overclocking the SSD :D
