Vista- and Far Cry 2-loading times are remarkably similar across the SSDs, which are all noticeably quicker than the solitary mechanical drive.
Summary
The OCZ Vertex 120GB drive performs admirably well in the Iometer and h2benchw tests but falls away a touch, compared to the other high-end competition, when evaluated with PCMark Vantage. The 30GB model benchmarks at roughly the same level, so you're literally buying more capacity with the bigger drive.
