The ever creative tier 1 tech site Guru3D have done their magic on the OCZ Vector as well. While wording opinions and findings in a way that only Guru3D can, they are also known for their extensive and detailed tests and knowledge of SSD Technology, being able to really put a product on the pain bench. And saying they liked the Vector 256GB would really be an understatement 'Fear not, The good Hilbert writeth '

However the one test that we think is by far the best test in our benchmark suite is PCMark Vantage 64-bit. This is a trace test and can emulate what you guys do on your PC but then multiplied with factor 100. The outcome of the results with the Vector are very impressive, it is in the top three of all SSDs tested to date -- shocking but true as we review a lot of them.
The peak read performance is excellent to grand, the write performance opposed to say LSI SandForce 2281, LAMD and Marvel controllers is simply exceptional.
But yeah, where the Vector series are going to shine is it's overall IO and razersharp write performance. Zoom in at both IOPS and Trace performance then you'll notice that the SSD can manage near silly workloads without breaking a sweat. So that's testimony towards the new Barefoot 3 controller. With a few more tweaks this can be the fastest SSD we have ever had our hands on.
Concluding
With the new Vector series SSDs OCZ again targets the higher segment of the enthusiast market. There's very little wrong with this SSD drive other then it could use a few tweaks here and there for some benchmark tests. Realistically though, and we stated this many times, you'd never ever even notice the difference as a split second write remains a split second write. That makes this drive rather exceptional.
The overall read performance is good, the trace and IOPS tests are exceptional and the sustained reads are good. If IOPS matter to you for say database utilization then again this is a segment where the Vector SSD is very strong. Where the Vector seems to go off charts is the overall write performance, as that's just very good.
