Final Thoughts
OCZ has built a reputation of manufacturing quality
High performance SSDs. If you are in the market to replace that aging and slower mechanical drive
Then the ARCr 100 240GB SSD from OCZ is just the drive
A Bit Slower Than Its Competitors
Price may still be too high
Given the current market cost/GB landscape
Crucial's MX100 drive costs a little less and delivers better performance overall
No 1TB model
Fewer in-box niceties than previous OCZ drives
The new SSD doesn't come with any accessories or software
It has a short three-year warranty
And its performance ranks behind that of other recently released drives
Sequential reading and writing performance isn't the strongest
But then again
This is a budget SSD.
No accessory bundle
Compared to Crucial's MX100
It's pricier
Slower
Has less endurance and lacks some encryption features.
