Emphasis mine. Looks good, but random writes at the 4k level is still lacking.

Now you see she was right.

Well, if you want to use the SSD as an OS drive (which is pretty much the point) you need good random write performance.
And guess what: OCZ drives up to now all suck at that!
It looks like you are the one who is wrong as it looks like folks who are buying this drive are getting very similar results and findings as that review over on cdfreaks.com.Originally posted by: coolVariable

No. That link says that it works better than the other OCZ drives but not better than the intels.
And:
1. She is not right.
2. That doesn't address any of the issues people have with her as a reviewer (Wendy = OCZ spammer)
3. And finally you should know, spamming doesn't make the drives better!
PS: Once they allow actual criticism of their drives on the forum and users to post also positive things about other companies' product (they currently only allow negative stuff), MAYBE one can at that point take OCZ forums seriously as an impartial source of info.
With fanboy/fangirl fanatics like Tony, Wendy or worse D111 though ...

I am curious here.
What benchmark is missing in that review that would have shown Vertex in a bad light ?

I would agree that OCZ forums are heavily moderated but it is a product support forum.
CD Freaks are however independent and a much larger site than Anandtech and that is where the Vertex review is located. It is not located on OCZ.
And for someone who is supposed to be so pro OCZ. The author of that review looks fairly balanced in my opinion in this post.

It just looks like at least one person here is jumping the gun a bit with these slanderous comments.
oh dear notice the similarities in what you just said in your point 2 ? cdfreaks also have the conclusion on the first page of all their reviews. why do you not ask cdfreaks why they do this ?If you want to know the ending first I won't make you wait. Intel absolutely delivered with its first SSDs. After I completed my initial testing of the drive I sent AnandTech Senior Editor, Gary Key a message:
"I think Intel just Conroe?d the HDD market."
Honestly, within 6 months I'd expect it to be just as important to have one of these drives in your system, as your boot/application drive, as it was to have Conroe in your system back in 2006. The only issue here, the only problem I have is the price. I was hoping for something much lower from Intel and although the pricing is justified based on the performance, it ensures that the X25-M like most high performance SSDs, remains a luxury item.

she does not own an Intel SSD
No trolling, flaming or personally attacking members. Deftly attacking ideas and backing up arguments with facts is acceptable and encouraged. Attacking other members personally and purposefully causing trouble with no motive other than to upset the crowd is not allowed.

This is unacceptable behaviour, we do not attack our fellow posters here in the AT forums.
You can have an issue with what a poster says (provided they are not making personal attacks), and debate them over the merits of the content of their posts (i.e. is Wendy on OCZ forums a shill, or is she just acting in a manner which makes us highly suspicious of it being the case?) but you cannot attack the poster themselves as you have here.
I suspect the mods will be here shortly to help clarify the TOS for being an AT member.
