OCZ Enyo USB 3.0 SSD gets reviewed: seductively speedy

OCZ's Enyo USB 3.0 portable SSD is still a fortnight or so away from hitting typical sales channels, but that hasn't stopped PC Perspective from picking one up via alternative means and putting it through its paces. We already knew that this would easily be the sexiest USB 3.0 SSD to hit the streets this year (okay, so we're assuming, but we're willing to bet a handful of Microsoft Points!), but now we know it'll also be one of the fastest. When tested alongside a USB 3.0 Super Talent thumb drive in a reasonably potent Core i7 desktop, critics found that read / write performance was downright stunning, with sustained read speeds hitting 195MB/sec and write speeds reaching as high as 220MB/sec. 'Course, the lofty price means that this beaut couldn't be recommended to all, but it's certainly nice to have the option if you're still looking for ways to spend that tax refund check. Video's after the break, y'all.

so sexy!

OCZ should know by now that what we as users want are not high numbers indicating good read/write speeds.

We want: low prices, low prices..............and lower prices.

Damn, is that too much to ask for

@eternity0022
You have to understand the concept of model "series"... This is not the low end cheap series...

Ooooh, the irony of a "PC Perspective" show using Macbook in presentation :S

[musback Posted May 24th 2010 7:23AM]

@HYBRiS a macbook is a pc. There's no magic about it, just a magic pricetag

[RampantNinja Posted May 24th 2010 10:57AM]

@HYBRiS Maybe he used it for the USB 2.0 test ^_-

Butt ugly cable... Couldn't they have designed a really thin/slim/flexible USB3 cable?!
