The Vertex 4 6Gbps SSD is available in sizes of 128, 256 and 512GB capacity which is 7% capacity jump from previous Vertex releases and that is a good thing. Performance peaks at 535MB/s read and 475MB/s write for the 512GB version. IOPS are a listed at 95,000 IOPS read and 80,000 IOPS write for the 512GB drive with the other two having 90,000 IOPS read and 80,000 IOPS write.
It wasn’t so long ago that asynchronous NAND flash memory was introduced to the consumer strictly from a value standpoint and SSD enthusiasts stood their ground; they felt it was a step in the wrong direction. In fact, the industry has definitely moved away from the value of performance to that of value in an effort to introduce the consumer to solid state drives.
There just had to be a way to make SSDs mainstream as that would be a definite benefit to all. It seems that we have lost touch with the ideal that there is a definite need for a ‘work horse’ SSD capable of a heavy workload, the type of workload we see in the manipulation and movement of files that consist of highly incompressible data, these being movies, music and photographs. And then came the Vertex 4, an ‘Indilinx Infused’ SSD pushing forward the Indilinx Everest 2 platform.
The SSD is the most important performance component found in a modern system today. Without it you do not even have a performance system.
