Benchmark Results: The OCZ Vertex EX 120GB SSD has more impressive performance numbers in HD Tune Pro 3.50 in both the read and write tests. All said and done, the average read speed was found to be 215.8MB/s with a write speed of 211.3MB/s. Both tests had an access time of 0.1ms and a CPU usage of ~2%.
Comparison Chart: When comparing the OCZ Vertex EX SSD to other popular 2.5-inch hard drives like the Western Digital Scorpio Blue 500GB and the Seagate Momentus 7200.3 320GB, you can see that it dominates the performance tests. It also performs faster than other popular SSDs by Super Talent and Corsair as seen above. This SLC based SSD really shines in the write test!
