I'm just primarily concerned with the performance gains from the Vertex and was wondering what you SSD experts think of these scores? (below)
Previously had WD Caviar Black 500GB as main boot drive with XP SP3 (32bit) at 3.6GHz
Now have OCZ 120GB Vertex and Windows 7 (64bit) at 3.54GHz (I lost some overclocking potential). Rest of components in my signature.
OCZ forums talks a lot about firmware 1.4. How do I know what firmware version my vertex is using and how do I know if TRIM is working? Do the 1.4 firmware have performance improvements too?
<--CrystalDiskMark -->
Vertex 120GB (read/write): Seq = 223/142, 512k = 162/126, 4k = 30/13
Seagate 7200.12 1TB: Seq = 114/105, 512k = 45/65, 4k = 0.6/0.9
WD Black 500GB: Seq = 68/71, 512k = 35/56, 4k = 0.4/1.45 (note Black still has XP on it)

*Whew* that was a lot of benchmarking
