OCZ Vertex4 and INDILINX

[Laquer Head]

Has anyone tried one of the new Vertex4 drives yet?

Curious how they are with the IndiLINX Everest 2 Controller over the previous SandForce used on Vertex series.

I notice the write time is significantly lower rated than past drives--is this a non issue with different technology/?

Looks like a couple main things are reducing write amplification, which is probably the biggest reason for the 5yr warranty, and error correction techniques. Also data retention and stability.

Write time isn't as much of an issue as it may seem since it will be mostly reading.
