The Vertex 2 has been designed to perform far better in the categories of your read/write speeds. Vertex 2 can go up to 50,000 4KB random write IOPS, the vertex is best used when using it for your primary storage or boot drive. This SSD and they all do, minimize program load times and completing tasks with blazing speed. Vertex uses proven controller technology and lets you have a faster and better response time from your PC. The vertex 2 features something called TRIM support which always keeps your drive running at its optimal performance just in windows 7 OS. Vertex 2 also offers SATA 3GB/S.

Important SSD notes:

Solid State Drives DO NOT require defragmentation. It may decrease the lifespan of the drive.

Consumers may see a discrepancy between reported capacity and actual capacity; the storage industry standard is to display capacity in decimal. However, the operating system usually calculates capacity in binary format, causing traditional HDD and SSD to show a lower capacity in Windows. In the case of SSDs, some of the capacity is reserved for formatting and redundancy for wear levelling.
