As is often the case with SSD reviews, what we have here is a mixed bag of results, so now it’s time to sift through them to try and better understand where each SSD stands in terms of performance. Breaking down the file copy tests, if we combine the ...
We can see from our tests that the OCZ Vertex 4 and Kingston HyperX 3K have strengths and weaknesses in different areas. This makes it quite difficult to make clear-cut judgments about which one performs best.The differences in performance between the two...
