The OCZ Vertex 2 Conspiracy: Lost Space, Lost Speed?

Benchmark Results: Iometer Streaming

If the previous page got you worked up, then this page of results should help confirm that we’re onto something here. Streaming IOPS and throughput are fundamentally unchanged in shifting from 34 nm NAND to the new 25 nm devices.

The same goes for writes. There’s basically no change. It’s definitely much more conceivable now that the problem stems from processing overhead associated with smaller randomized files and more aggressive ECC.
