Why is my OCZ Vertex 2 SSD faster than my Corsair Force 3 SSD
I have a 60GB OCZ Vertex 2 SSD and a Corsair Force 3 120gb SSD.
Using them on an Acer 5739g laptop, I see windows boot from cold to the Google homepage in 42 seconds using the OCZ drive and 53 seconds using the Corsair Drive.
Games like Skyrim also seem to respond much faster with the OCZ drive than the Corsair and even minecraft loads faster on the OCZ.
Why is this??? On paper, the Corsair drive is much faster supporting up to 550mb/sec via Sata3 (I only have sata2 so would expect them to be the same). but the Corsair also supports up to 85,000 ops per second as opposed to 50,000 on the OCZ, but why is the system so much more responsive with the OCZ?confused
Additional info: Both drives are direct clones of each other and running the latest firmware. My laptop has 4gb of RAM.
