  Here it is finally, fully developed by OCZ SSD almost. In any case, this time, the controller is indeed produced in-house, via the subsidiary acquired Indilinx in March 2011. For what? Let's see it ...It has not escaped our readers who closely follow the theme SSD. In March 2011, proceeded to the purchase of OCZ Indilinx Barefoot controller and its disks to flash. Obviously, it is with some attention being followed is OCZ's use of these controllers, and we were looking forward to the first SSD "OCZ 100%." We thought the Dell Inspiron 1545 stick with the SSD with Indilinx Everest controllers, such as Octane and Vertex 4, but it turned out afterwards that behind Everest 1 and 2 hid in fact produced by Marvell controllers rebadgés. However, this new SSD Vector is indeed equipped with Indilinx Indilinx controller designed by and manufactured by a subsidiary of OCZ, called Barefoot 3, which also benefited from the expertise of PLX acquired in October 2011. Without OCZ has been able to confirm this information, it is said that burning the controller 65 nm is provided by the foundry TSMC, while it would be 400 MHz RISC instructions and work under 32 bit. With firmware developed by OCZ engineers, so that's a cocktail that the manufacturer OCZ (currently struggling) wanted to revive explosive market flash memory storage.  Speaking of flash, of course evoke NAND chips used by OCZ for this Vector. Without much surprise, behind the OCZ logo and reference number on the 14 modules that make up the SSD, we find in fact the same chip as fitted to the Vertex 4 of the mark, namely the synchronous MLC engraved in 25 nm by Intel Micron joint venture. When we speak of Dell XPS M1330 fully produced, so this is putting aside this parameter. That said, these memory chips have already shown their benefits in the past and know that they are the same as those teams Vertex 4 is a very good thing because it will allow us to see if the optimizations torque controller / firmware to bear fruit. Note that at the opening of the SSD that adopts a 2.5 "and a thickness of only 7 mm, we find a record of very classical, with memory chips installed on each side of the PCB and a controller which heat is removed by the presence of a single small heat pad. should also note the presence of two small chips DRAM, but do not act as cache ensures OCZ. There are two small chips DDR3 256 MB each for a quantity of 512 MB total (1 GB for 512 GB version). It may be noted that longevity side, OCZ indicates that the vector can be used on the basis of a writing 20GB of data per day for 5 years without suffering any performance degradation and loss of usable capacity. TRIM support technology and Idle Time Dell E4310 Battery Garbage Collection plays necessarily, but of course omit the role of the firmware to optimize the operation of the disc. OCZ The vector according consumes 0.9 W break, and 2.25 W supported.  The side of the packaging, OCZ book as usual but neat compact bundle, which includes the SSD, fasteners, adapter to slot 3.5 "still useful for those old boxes or overburdened discs in 2.5 "not to mention a license to use the software Acronis True Image HD will be useful for creating and managing disk images. In contrast, no SATA cable inside the package. Enjoy it elsewhere to conclude this presentation by saying that the SSD uses SATA connectivity 3-6 Gbps. The HP G4 Battery unit is guaranteed for 5 years by the manufacturer, a precision finishes installing this product in the high-end drives sold on the mainstream market. For this test, we selected a total of 20 to compare SSD performance ski with this OCZ 256GB vector and used our usual bike in this product category:  Configuration de test : - Processeur : Intel Core i7-3960X à 3,30 Ghz
- Carte mère : Intel DX79SI
- Ventirad : Noctua NH-D14
- RAM : Corsair Vengeance 2 x 4 Go DDR3 1600 MHz
- Stockage : SSD Corsair Performance Pro 256 Go
- Alimentation : Seasonic 850W 80Plus Gold
- OS : Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bits
Up tests It's like our usual with Crystal Disk Mark as we launch our series of tests. This software allows you to judge the performance of the drives on incompressible data confirms that we are dealing with a very powerful model with Vector. As proof, he goes in sequential speeds of 512 MB / s read and 506 MB / s write, rising the fastest, very close to a 840 Pro Samsung. In random, is still very good bases, to 432 MB / s read and 495 MB especially / s write, an area in which he is the fastest of all. We also use HP G6 Battery as a repository side IOPS, year in which the vector is read out especially with 90,061 IOPS, more than in writing where it tops out at 67,214 IOPS. That's less than the 100,000 and 95,000 promoted by OCZ, which - however - performs its tests under IOmeter. Past the surprise of seeing curves HD Tune out not necessarily very smooth, but confirm excellent access time (0.065 ms 0.037 ms reading and writing), the curves ATTO lifts are very good. On highly compressible data, the vector behaves well, reaching 558 and 534 MB / s sequential read and write, and 419 and 514 MB / s read and write random on larger block sizes. Again this is part of the best discs, a few MB / s. In contrast, the small blocks, such as 4K, performance is a little less outlandish. Sequentially, vector shines a little less reading and writing, so that random is not as good, but still above average.  Side tests HP G7 Battery more practical, such as AS SSD which simulates specific tasks such as copies of directories, the Vector is doing very logically, from the great hound Neutron GTX Corsair, and no less than the very good 840 Pro Samsung up impressive speeds of 348 MB / s copy of an ISO image, and 272 MB / s on a game that test suite Storage PCMark 7, the Vector is a little against less prominent, with an overall score of 4779 points, far enough from the Vertex 4 of the same brand that continues to lead this year in our comparison with 5185 points. However, the exercise of a RAR archive decompression seeking both the disk read and write is not afraid to Vector, which the test loop before all others, with a few tens of seconds ahead of a lot of good competitors. A row that tend to confirm the file copy tests, where the vector is again the same level as the best.  OCZ manages its product, but at what price? At the end of this series of tests, it is important to recognize the qualities of Vector OCZ, which with the same chips as the four great Vertex OCZ overrides the other in many areas. Best, it offers a valid alternative to the best SSD general public passed through our hands recently, as the 840 Pro or Samsung Neutron GTX Corsair. Especially as it is also sold with a warranty of 5 years. It is therefore with these parameters in mind, compare the prices of different disks. But unfortunately, the Latitude E5520 first referencing pre-output vector by some online retailers have quickly disappeared. And they should also quickly reappear after the NDA lifted, we can not rely on recommended prices advanced by OCZ, namely $ 149.99 for the 128 GB model, $ 269.99 for the model 256GB and $ 559.99 for the 512 GB model For the 256 GB model tested here should therefore be based on a rate of $ 269.99. Even euros, will necessarily be a bit more expensive than the Vertex 4 found from 180 €, which is positioned with a very good ratio performance / capacity / price. Logic, the Vector is a more efficient SSD with 5 year warranty and resolutely high-end. It will therefore directly rub the Samsung Pro 840 is priced starting at € 233 on our price comparison, 256 GB, or 240 GB Neutron GTX Corsair found from 234 €. As already mentioned in previous tests of SSD, it is this level of performance in use almost impossible to disentangle these classic records. Besides the attraction can be to a brand, it provides tools to manage the disk, and strict price / storage capacity, it turns out that these products are equal and - whatever that it happens - should not disappoint you. And as well as other excellent our comparative SSD, the OCZ Vector deserves the attention of wealthy amateurs. Tags: Dell Latitude E6320 , Latitude E6420 batteries, Latitude E6420 ATG
