Since its introduction to the market the SATA 3 SSD has gathered plenty of momentum and thanks to lowering SATA 2 SSD prices the enthusiast has a much better opportunity to own such a device.
The Vertex 3 Max IOPS is a great example of what can be achieved by having a SATA 3 SSD. During the benchmark tests this drive showed solid performance, the only real cause for concern was the CrystalDiskMark write performance – but this test has previously shown anomalies with some drives. Overall though the Vertex 3 Max IOPS is a great performer.
Priced at just short of £400inc. VAT the Vertex 3 Max IOPS is a pricey drive indeed. There are cheaper alternatives out there with similar capacity and interface for approximately £280 so I think price is going to perhaps put some customers off purchasing.
