OCZ Vertex 2 drives slower than before?
I have heard people say that due to a manufacturing process change (25nm currently vs 32nm before?), the newer production OCZ Vertex 2 drives are significantly slower but OCZ has not changed the model number nor have they changed the advertised throughput.
I wasn't ever aware of this until about a week ago, but it seems unfair to advertise the old speeds on the new Vertex 2's. Apparently, the only way you can find out if you have the new revision or not is to actually benchmark it. You will know if you have the new revision because it will be much slower than the posted benchmarks on the web, and you will see less space on your drive. This thread is just a word of caution.
Thoughts?
