OCZ Vertex 3.20 240 GB Review

Category : Storage

Published by Marc Büchel on 30.04.13

With the Vertex 3.20 OCZ officially launches their first product that features 20 nanometer NAND from the Intel/Micron joint venture. This step is quite a critical one for OCZ since it means that have to do a balancing act between endurance and price. There are quite a few manufacturers out there in the market that already offer TLC based SSD with significantly lower prices. At this point we just want to tell you, that OCZ does not got for TLC NAND, they stick to MCL chips and we think it's a good compromise between not only price and endurance but also performance.

As soon as we read the product name "Vertex", a high-performance solid state drive comes to our mind. Over the past years OCZ has brought four different different versions of this drive to the market and the successors were always faster than the predecessors. Since last year, OCZ's CEO stepped down things started to change. The company went through a thorough restructuring process, where consolidating the product portfolio was an important part too. One crucial decision OCZ has taken was to remove the Agility and the Solid series from their lineup. In other words the means that they got ride of their entry level products and they now needed something to step into this gap.

And that's where the Vertex 3.20 jumps in. Since nowadays, the american SSD manufacturer has the Vertex 4 and the Vector, to take care of the high-performance client space, the Vertex 3.20 is covering the entry level market. But how does a former high-performance product fit into the entry level segment?

The most important update OCZ deployed with the Vertex 3.20, when comparing it to the Vertex 3, concerns the NAND flash memory. Like the product name of the Vertex 3.20 suggests, this drives features NAND flah, that has been manufactured using 20 nanometer structures. In case of the original Vertex 3, OCZ has been using NAND flash memory with 25 nanometer structures. When it comes to the manufacturing process of NAND flash, then a customer gets an upside as well as a downside at the same time. Let's talk about the upside first: a shrink enables the manufacturer to put more memory chips on one 300 millimeter wafer. In other words the manufacturing process becomes more cost efficient. This cost efficiency is going to be carried to the end user who actually buys these products for a lower price. The downside however is, that making the structures smaller causes the P/E-cycles to drop. Most 25 nanometer MLC NAND flash chips featured a P/E-cycle count of either 5'000 or 3'000. Intels 29-F16B08CCMF3 20 nanometer chips - the ones you find on the Vertex 3.20 - are validated at 3'000 P/E-cycles. So basically, these 20 nanometer chips offer the same level of endurance like the 25 nanometer chips one can find on Kingston HyperX 3k SSD. Furthermore there is another interesting fact. Quite a few entry level SSDs make use of TLC NAND flash meanwhile. These chips offer 1'200 P/E-cycles, which means, that the OCZ entry level drive offers about 2.5 times the reliability judging only by the P/E-cycle count.

Enough said now: let's see what the Vertex 3.20 with 240 Gigabyte and SandForce SF-2281 controller can do, when it comes to performance. This will be interesting, because a shrink usually brings a performance drop. Comparing the results from the Vertex 3.20 to the Vertex 3 will show how well a job the firmware engineers at OCZ did. If the performance is on about the same level, then the work they did was excellent.

We think everybody reading this article can imagine the following scenario: You just bought a hard drive which according the specs sheet should transfer 120 MByte/s reading and writing. In the reviews you read about astonishing 110 MByte/s but after you put the drive into you system it feels much slower. The whole story gets even worse when you start a benchmark which does randomread/write of 4 KByte blocks. There you only get two to three MBytes/s.

Because of this we don't want to publish screenshots of standard programs like HD-Tach, HD-Tune, ... we want our tests to be

• reproducible,
• accurate
• meaningful and
• varied ...

... sind.

We test with activated caches and NCQ (Native Command Queueing) because they're also activated under daily use. But the data size tested is always at least twice the amount of the memory. In this there will be no intereference.

We noticed that the measuring error is constantly within ±2%. Therefore we mention it only here.

Additionally we evaluate the S.M.A.R.T. data to assess if there are already errors.

The following table give you a brief overview to which points we turn our centre of attention.

Test	Observations
Sequential Read/Write Tests	Are the values within the specifications? Which influence has the block size? Which influence has the filesystems block size?
Random Read/Write Tests	How severe is the influence on the theoretically possible (sequential) datarate? Which influence has the block size? Which influence has the block size on the filesystem?

iozone3

iozone3 is a benchmark suit for storage solutions which natively runs under Linux.

Therefore we are testing the throughput with different block sizes using the following commands:

KByte/s

• iozone -Rb test4k.xls -i0 -i1 -i2 -+n -r 4k -s4g -t32
• iozone -Rb test16k.xls -i0 -i1 -i2 -+n -r 16k -s4g -t32
• iozone -Rb test32k.xls -i0 -i1 -i2 -+n -r 32k -s4g -t32

• iozone -Rb test128ko.xls -i0 -i1 -i2 -+n -r 128k -s4g -t32 -O

 

Why do we test different block sizes?

It is important to reproduce scenarios of daily usage. Certain parameters need to be variable during the test to make a statement about the product. In our test the parameters are the different block sizes. It defines the size in KBytes which is written/read on the drive during a transaction.

With this method one can test the reading and writing of either small and big files. In a normal personal computer environment you usually don't find many files smaller than 16 KByte. The relative amount of small files is much bigger on a mail or database server. Therefore tests with small block sizes are of interest for database-based applications.

In bigger RAID arrays the hard disk cache is usually disabled and the RAID-Controller takes over the job of caching. Exactly in such setups hard drives need to be very fast when reading or writing small amounts of data. Sequential throughput isn't interesting in this case.

Conclusion

Announcement: Despite the circumstance that the rating of a product is based on as many objective facts as possible there are factors which can have an influence on a rating after publication. Every autor may perceive data differently over time whereas one possible reason for example is a deeper background knowledge or understanding of certain processes. Certain unforseen market conditions as well as changes have the potential to render a descision made at a certain point in time obsolete.

As we've already mentioned, when comparing the new Vertex 3.20 with the initial Vertex 3, one can see whether OCZs implementation of 20 nanometer NAND has been successfull or not. Overall we have to say, that we're quite surprised, how well a job the engineers at OCZ have done. Comparing the Vertex 3.20 to the Vertex 3 shows that the new drive is a little slower than the predecessor, but the differences really aren't too big. This is especially good news, since the Vertex 3.20 is now a mainstream and not a high-performance drive anymore. In you get decent performance with the drive for a great price, which can be expected to drop further as soon as 20 nanometer NAND production has ramped up to the maximum.

Checking the the performance numbers we measured up to 534 Megabyte per second for sequential reads and 533 Megabyte per second for sequential writes. Regarding random throughput the Vertex3.20 has been able to boast 71'500 IOPS while performing random write operations and 42'000 IOPS performing random reads. Since the Vertex 3.20 is based on a SandForce SF-2281 controller one can expect the sequential throughputs to drop when transferring compressed data. Never the less, when comparing this MLC based drive to a TLC drive, you will see, that this is quite a compelling offer.

Overall we're happy to see that OCZ did not yet join the "TLC movement". We think that it's a good sign, that there are companies like OCZ not moving to TLC and instead use MLC which offers way higher P/E-cycle counts. One can assume, that this will mean low RMA rates with this product, this would make the manufacturer as well as the customer happy and increase faith in OCZ products.

Recommendation

The Vertex 3.20 with 240 Gigabyte offers decent performance at a fair price point. For 182 Euro (est. CHF 229.-) you get a reasonably fast drive, that offers higher reliability when compared to the TLC offers that are available for almost the same price.
