OCZ Solid Series benchmarks

[Stonedofmoo]

Anandtech has a big roundup on SSD's today. Included in those results are the results for the OCZ Solid Series which apparently has a slightly later revision of the dreaded JMicron JMF602 controller. Now it's JMicron JMF602B

The results however are about the same.

All I need to do is point to our trusty iometer test to tell you that the issues that plagued the original JMicron drives I complained about apply here as well:

Iometer 4KB Random Writes, IOqueue=3, 8GB sector space IOs per second MB/s Average Latency Maximum Latency
JMF602B MLC Drive 5.61 0.02 MB/s 532.2 ms 2042 ms

On average it takes nearly half a second to complete a random 4KB write request to one of these drives. No thanks.
