Obviously the way published specs work is not necessarily the way the drives will work with Catalyst, but with the core series of OCZ known to work with a published read time of up to 170 mb/s the Vertex series claims 250mb/s is there any added value ?
in the last generation of mac pro with ssd - the bottleneck really shifted back to the cpu- to get more layers-
increasing speed of ssd didnt help much- increasing cpu did help.

but the bottleneck shifts all the time with cpu graphics card and disc changes- it might be different in latest one.

you dont know until you test on your system-
the way to determine the best performance is to use a ram disc- and compare that with your ssd- see how much difference it makes.
