OCZ has just released a new firmware (v1.4RC) that improves sequential read and write speeds (random read and write speeds haven’t changed) of its Vertex 4 series of SSD drives. In the tables below, compare the speeds before and after the v1.4RC firmware installation.

Most notably, v1.4RC firmware more than doubles sequential write performance of the 128 GB model and boosts the 256 GB model from 380 MB/s to 465 MB/s.

The v1.4RC firmware will be available today via the company's website.

OCZ is also expanding its Vertex 4 series with the introduction of the 64 GB model, which will become available over the next few weeks.
