Flash Media / 2.5" Solid State Drives / SATA II / 64MB Cache / MLC / Performance Series Offering your system the incredible performance of flash-based storage, the OCZ Vertex Series delivers the performance and reliability of SSDs at less price per gigabyte than other high speed offerings currently on the market. The OCZ Vertex Series is the result of all the latest breakthroughs in SSD technology, including new architecture and controller design, blazing read/write speeds, and 64MB of onboard cache. Perfect for notebooks and desktops alike, the Vertex Series is ideal for energy-efficient mobile computing to extend battery life, increase the speed of access time, and provide a durable alternative to conventional hard disc drives with superior shock resistance. High capacities and low power consuming NAND flash technology provide the necessary performance and battery life boosts generated by the proliferation of mobile gaming and new ultra-thin laptops. The OCZ Vertex drives feature a durable yet lightweight alloy housing, and because OCZ SSDs have no moving parts, the drives are more rugged than traditional hard drives. Designed for ultimate reliability, Vertex Series SSDs have an excellent 1.5 million hour mean time before failure (MTBF) ensuring peace of mind over the long term. All Vertex Series SSD drives come backed a two year warranty and OCZ’s legendary service and support. 60GB Max Performance** Read: Up to 230 MB/s Write: Up to 135MB/s Sustained Write: Up to 70MB/s IMPORTANT NOTE: To continually improve and optimize the Vertex SSD for the latest platforms OCZ will constantly release new firmware updates. Detailed firmware information can be found on our support forums and a step-by-step flashing guide is available here *Consumers may see a discrepancy between reported capacity and actual capacity; the storage industry standard is to display capacity in decimal. However, the operating system usually calculates capacity in binary format, causing traditional HDD and SSD to show a lower capacity in Windows. In the case of SSDs, some of the capacity is reserved for formatting and redundancy for wear leveling. These reserved areas on an SSD may occupy up to 5% of the drive’s storage capacity. On the Vertex Series the naming convention reflects this and the 30 is equivalent to 32GB, the 60 is equivalent to the 64GB and so on. **Rated speeds are based on the Intel P45 chipset, speeds may vary slightly dependent on the benchmark used, drivers, windows version, bios version and file size. We recommend using ATTO and PC Mark Vantage for benchmarking SSDs. ***Solid State Drives DO NOT require defragmentation. It may decrease the lifespan of the drive. Please visit our SSD support forums for more information. Guru3D "With the Vertex series SSD controllers OCZ offers an extremely high performing SSD with a new controller and...in addition to that a nice phat 64MB cache to tackle the slow small files write issue. As such, the OCZ Vertex series SSD drives are to date the best SSDs we have ever tested. It is nearly baffling how fast it really is. It looks like OCZ struck gold with the Vertex. As such it comes very much recommended.” Benchmark Reviews "The OCZ Vertex easily outperforms the stated 160 MBps specification for write-to bandwidth, as our tests resulted in a 225.2 MBps average with a 242.7 MBps maximum peak write bandwidth. Positioned in first place and well above the RAID-0 performance a set of Western Digital VelociRaptor hard drives can offer, the OCZ Vertex outperforms every single storage drive product by a significant margin. Based on the collection of benchmark performance tests we've conducted, the OCZ Vertex offers linear bandwidth so far ahead of previous competition that it might require calling this a new generation product in order to justify how so many other 'new' products have just been left behind. the OCZ Vertex MLC Solid State Drive offers tremendous performance in read and write bandwidth speeds and an exceptional 0.10 ms response time at a attainable price. Second to none, the Vertex SSD easily outperforms a RAID-0 set of Western Digital VelociRaptor hard drives. I can recommend the OCZ Vertex to cutting-edge super-users and performance enthusiasts who want unmatched response and speed from their computer system." PC Perspective "The OCZ Vertex 120GB drive is the first drive to consistently beat out the Intel X25-M. The new OCZ Vertex solid state drive is one of the most impressive SSDs we have tested to date. I know that there is much excitement in the hardware community about this drive and for good reason: it uses a brand new controller from a brand new company and as such performance was an unknown. Many in the community have been billing it as the first true competitor to Intel's X25-M line of mainstream MLC drives and it indeed lives up to that status. As it turns out, the performance lives up to the excitement and expectations." CD Freaks "The OCZ Technology Vertex series drives are quite incredible. This is the first SSD drive I can honestly say is completely stable when used as a system drive. It's also incredibly fast. Reading access times are lightning fast and applications load in an instant, making the Vertex series of drives ideal as the operating system drive with all the user’s installed applications. Noise levels from the drive is null; there are no moving parts so the drive is completely silent.OCZ Technology care about their customers and they have an excellent support forum. There is no doubt in my mind that a lot of work has gone into the design of this drive, to make sure it performs extremely well under very heavy load in the real world. No doubt the much more advanced Indilinx Barefoot SSD controller also plays its part in boosting performance. The Vertex also received our highest editor rating." Benchmark Reviews: SSD RAID 0 Performance "Putting two OCZ Vertex SSDs into a striped RAID-0 array really let the technology shine, as the bandwidth scores were as high as Benchmark Reviews has seen. The RAID-0 Vertex set performed at 504.9 MBps average read speed, while write performance was 437.2 MBps. That amounts to 104% read speed improvement, and 94% write performance. As a single drive, the Vertex SSD is second to none (at least until OCZ launches the Summit SSD), and easily outperforms a RAID-0 set of Western Digital VelociRaptor hard drives. Place two OCZ Vertex SSDs into a RAID-0 striped array, and the results are phenomenal." |
