Read and write speeds specs mean (almost) nothing when it comes to SSD.

The true performance is shown in heavy long-running benchmarks. OCZ has
a long history of very bad performing SSD products.

The Intel SSD did set the standard since it came on the market (hence
the reason OCZ mentions the X25-E).

Btw, not only benchmarks show paper specs mean (almost) nothing: check
the OCZ forums and google on real life usage performance problems
(stutters mostly) under normal to low load.

Especially small writes kill OCZ SSD performance, although their
products have improved with the last releases.

With kind regards, Sander
