So what? I said we won’t see something faster. This tiny advantage in write speed is enough for you to call it faster? I whould hardly call it a tie as a number of benchmarks like Vantage, Pcmark07, even AnandTech’s Storage Bench which is mighty similar to our every day usage, suggest 840 is a little faster overall. That said, steady state is indeed Vectors strong point and i admit that although the latest firmware improved the 840 steady state perf, vector scores here.

so your basing the total speed of the drive on 1 metric? I heard the new firmware bumps that up actually but the vector kills the 840 pro is steady state performance as well as in writes..

“The Samsung 830 Series was only recently unseated from the top of our
overall performance rankings by the OCZ Vector. While the 840 Pro is an
improvement over its predecessor, it’s not fast enough to match the
Vector.”

Nice catch! Any reviews backing that up? Because that 4k read of 30mb/s looks lower than the 40mb/s the 840 manages… lol!

Vector is faster than your 840 Pro especially with Vectors newly released FW 2.0 lol..

Well i guess we won’t see anything better than my 840pro until the next gen SATA…
