Possible OCZ Issue

[samsc]

Speaking of OCZ, has anyone tried the Vertex series?

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.

Sorry it took me so long to get back. the system hard drive chose to die right after I put in the new ssd.
