OCZ Storage Solutions Intros the Vertex 460 Series SSDs
OCZ Storage Solutions has announced a new lineup of SSDs.
OCZ Storage Solutions, which is now a subsidiary of Toshiba, has announced the Vertex 460 series SSDs.
The SSDs will feature Toshiba's 19 nm MLC NAND flash memory, as well as OCZ's Barefoot 3 M10 controller. This controller allows the unit to be encrypted using AES-256-bit encryption without losing performance.
The combination of this allows the Vertex 460 SSDs to read sequentially at up to 545 MB/s and write sequentially at up to 525 MB/s. It can push up to 95,000 and 90,000 random read/write IOPS, respectively, while it can sustain 23,000 IOPS during sustained 4K random writing.
The 2.5” 7 mm thick SSDs will be available in capacities ranging from 120 GB to 480 GB, though there is no word on pricing for these yet.

Of course for file transfers and sequential write intensive activities the new SSD would be much faster. But comparing early high end SATA 3 to the latest high end SATA3 SSDs there isn't much difference.
I feel confident with buying used because I'd buy 1 that has a track record for reliability.A well engineered one shouldn't fail for 20+ years or if it has 100s of TBs written to it.
