OCZ Vector vs Samsung 840 Pro

[Moose83]

Today i did some test with 5 OCZ Vector and 3 Samsung 840 pro, all in the 128GB Variant:D

I was very surprised, when i finished compare these drives, the OCZ Vector ist not bad at all, but it looses against the Samsung 840 Pro. In PCM05 both are really near together, but in PCMark Vantage, the Samsung declasses the Vector much! This was the last time for me, i buy OCZ SSDs, on Paper it looks like the strongest SSD on the market, but the tests show, that this is not more than marketing. Also Support for OCZ is an shame, there toolbox is not available for the Vector

 

Here you can find my test with both SSDS, 3 Samsung against 5 OCZ, shame on you OCZ!

Are the 240GB versions not better mate ?

[Moose83]

For PCMark? No, because in Read Speeds and Iops both are the same;) The 256GB Version is only faster in write Speeds, but with Controller, thats not an issue:)

Interesting results. Were these tests not done with the 1882ix?

Of course, i used Areca 1882ix for this test. But i was really surprised about the PCMVantage result, only 3 840 Pro declass 5 OCZ Vector:)

Just that VS looked a lot lower in those than what you've been subbin lately.
