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.
Faster read speeds available elsewhere, Inconsistent small file performance
The OCZ Arc proved more balanced than rivals in some tests, but it's not able to match the raw read speeds of most of the competition – and its small file tests aren't as impressive, either. It'll be a decent option if the price drops, but right now its ...
Eclipsed by other SSDs in most tests, Not as fast as other affordable drives, No accessories in package
While the ARC 100 isn't the best performing drive money can buy, it's one of the most affordable. In real-world use, such as application loading times and system boot times, you'll only find slim differences between this drive and one that costs a lot mor...
Samsung's 850 Pro SSDs are without a doubt the fastest SSDs of this moment. Given that this product does not seem to have any flaws, we heartily recommend it to those who are looking for the fastest possible SSD. The Vector 150 and AMD Radeon R7 SSDs ar...
In terms of design and build quality the OCZ ARC gets off to a good start by using an all metal chassis. It's a simple aspect of an SSD but it always feels (and looks) nicer than a plastic alternative. The branding applied to the SSD is stylish and the us...
Abstract: There is absolutely no shortage on the market any more when it comes to Solid State Drives (SSD), but not all of them are aimed at the same users and setup scenarios. So to add one more to the list, OCZ has just launched its new range of ARC 100 drives. A...

From the results, it's clear why OCZ is focussing on and heavily promoting performance in mixed workloads and sustained performance/consistency, as the Barefoot 3 controller certainly impresses here. Its peak performance and especially the speeds in the P...

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
All things considered, the OCZ ARC 100 series is an excellent upgrade to a sluggish computer, thanks to good performance and affordable pricing....
IOPS is strong, incompressible and compressible data equally good, Low pricing, key indicators point to good long term performance
Facing stiff competition from the likes of Samsung.
The OCZ ARC 100 is a drive that has been designed and released to target the widest possible audience in the budget sector.There is no doubt that the OCZ ARC 100 is a very capable drive – I rate the OCZ Barefoot 3 M10 controller very highly as it can deal...
Hace más de tres años que no disponemos ningún producto de OCZ, así que nos sentimos entusiasmados al saber que íbamos a recibir una muestra de uno de las unidades de estado sólido de la compañía, y más tras ser adquirida por Toshiba, ya que esto ha hecho...
