We test with both random read and write 4k tests, as shown above. There are many ways to measure the IOPS performance of a Solid State Drive, so our results will often vary between the manufacturer’s quoted ratings.

Our own results fell short of OCZ claims. We achieved around 18,000 IOPS in the 4k Random Write test and around 15,000 IOPS in the 4k Random Read test.

Fallout 4: Anniversary Edition announced for all systems (including Switch 2)

Just under 10 years ago, Fallout 4 officially released to the world. While the game is far from perfect, it resonated with millions thanks to its sandbox-like design and focus on exploration among other ancillary additions (such as the settlement mechanic and base building).

  1. good value for money drive, id prefer to get their vector as its cheap now too.

  2. Looks like a good altnerative to the Samsung 840 which is even cheaper, although ive concerns over the long term reliability of those drives.
