What sets a Vertex 3 apart from a Vertex 3 Pro? Not all that much, but SandForce has grown a lot in the past year and instead of just a couple of SKUs this time around there are no less than seven members of the SF-2000 family. The Vertex 2 is on its way out and will ultimately be replaced by the V3. The price point? Less than half of that of the V3P: Pricing ComparisonĪt an estimated $250 for a 120GB drive the Vertex 3 is more expensive than today’s Vertex 2, but not by too much nor do I expect that price premium to last for long.

Contained within this nondescript housing is the first beta of OCZ’s Vertex 3 based on a SandForce SF-2200 series controller. Just as we saw last round however, if there’s a Vertex 3 Pro, there’s bound to be a more reasonably priced non-Pro version without some of the enterprisey features. As a result the V3P commands a premium - the drive starts at $525 for a 100GB capacity.

The Vertex 3 Pro is an enterprise class drive, complete with features that aren’t exactly in high demand on a desktop. What wasn’t impressive however was the price. Granted that’s with highly compressible data but the figures are impressive nonetheless. Not only was it the world’s first drive to use SandForce’s 2nd generation SSD controller, the Vertex 3 Pro was also the first SATA drive we’ve tested to be able to break 500MB/s on both reads and writes. Last week OCZ pulled the trigger and introduced the world’s first SF-2000 based SSD: the Vertex 3 Pro.
