OCZ Apex 120GB SSD Review

ATTO Disk Benchmark

The ATTO disk benchmark tests the drives read and write speeds using gradually larger size files. For these tests, the ATTO program was set to run from its smallest to largest value (.5KB to 8192KB) and the total length was set to 256MB. The test program then spits out an extrapolated performance figure in megabytes per second.

Read


Unlike G.Skill which undervalued their drives performance numbers, OCZ got it completely right. They say it will hit 230MB/sec and that is about what it does. Its numbers do bounce around a bit more than the Titan’s but at this level of performance, any minor variations are moot.


Write


Unlike the read numbers which were basically what OCZ predicted, its write numbers are a good bit better than 110MB/s. In this test it seems that the OCZ Apex is a slightly more refined version of the Titan with smoothed out write performance.
