The peak write bandwidth numbers for the OCZ Agility 2 and Vertex 2 40GB SSDs are impressive with both drives topping out at 268MB/s. The next fastest drives were the Seagate Momentus XT 500GB and Samsung Spinpoint F1 1TB with both cracking the 100MB/s mark. However, while the 32K and 128K performance of the hard drives was impressive they suffered when measuring 1K, 2K and even 8K performance. Perhaps the most consistent drives in this test other than the OCZ Agility 2 and Vertex 2 40GB SSDs were the Onyx 32/64GB drives. The performance of the Intel X25-V 40GB was also very consistent but it was low with a throughput of around 40MB/s.
