The editors didn't like
Price (maybe see below)
Nothing to mention.
Top-tier pricing
Could perform better in smaller random transfer workloads
Trades capacity for greater endurance
Pricey
Competing drives consume less power when idle
Expensive on a per-gig basis
The Vector 150 doesn't outdo its predecessor in most categories
Including storage capacity
Pricing
And performance. The new drive doesn't offer anything new compared with other SSDs
Trailed the Samsung 840 In Most Tests
Relatively High MSRPs
Loss of capacity from 256GB to 240GB
Price premium
More expensive than comparable drives
Not as fast as other high-end drives (which are more expensive
Though)
Expensive enthusiastlevel product
OCZ Toolbox is bush league
Too expensive (just barely)
The Vector 150's performance is largely on par with last year's drive
Which wouldn't be an issue on its own
But it becomes one with OCZ's asking price of $1.00/GB or more.

Consistent Performance, Great Value
The Vector 150 sure is an improvement of the former Vector SSD. Based on our tests, the Vector 150 is close and up to par with its written specifications. Better yet, it has better consistency over different compression rates as shown in our Anvil's Stora...
Abstract: The latest solid-state drive being tested at Phoronix is the 120GB OCZ Vector 150. This solid-state drive is quite affordable but has been reviewed favorably by Windows users, so we figured we'd see how well it works when adding it to one of the constantl...
After the successful Vector, OCZ has released a newly revised model featuring Toshiba’s 19nm Toggle-mode NAND Flash; the new product is not the speediest (falls behind the original Vector) when compared with some of the previous models we have tested ...

OCZ Vector 150The OCZ Vector 150 is an attractive alternative to many competitors. In particular, the two test models perform significantly better than most of the reviewed competitors under constant load. Although the drive cannot achieve absolute top va...

Given the announced changes, nothing about the Vector 150 was any kind of surprise. As much as we like surprises, in this case, not having any was a good thing. The move to 19nm Toshiba MLC flash was a very logical move in a number of ways. First, it pu...

Competing drives consume less power when idle, Expensive on a per-gig basis
The Vector 150 features updated flash memory and promises improved longevity, but its performance isn’t markedly better than OCZ's previous-generation drive, and it costs more than competing alternatives. ...
Final Thoughts ]From a performance point of view not a lot has changed, the Vector 150 was slightly faster than the original Vector in some tests while it was slower, much slower, in some cases. When compared to the Samsung SSD 840 Pro and SanDisk Ex...
