The program copy test is comprised of many small non-compressed files (6104 files totaling 2.75GB). As you can see, the Vertex 3 prefers uncompressed data, becoming 24% faster when compared to the 6GB ISO test. This made OCZ’s new drive 77% faster than the RealSSD C300 256GB and 50% faster than the new Intel SSD 320 Series 300GB. The game copy evaluation is a mixture of small and large, compressed and non-compressed files. There are 1336 files in this test for a total size of 2.70GB. Interestingly, the Intel 320 Series 300GB, Samsung 470 Series 256GB and Crucial RealSSD C300 256GB became much faster, while the Vertex 3 lost speed over the previous test. Again, we believe the compressed files are slowing the Vertex 3 down.
