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.

There was once a time when OCZ was synonymous with SSDs. The company sold much of the enthusiast community its first solid-state devices in products like the Vertex and Agility. But then the plankton bloomed, and now industry whales like Samsung, Micron, ...

With fast performance and a good warranty, the OCZ Vector 150 is a great SSD for first-time adopters. It's not a worthwhile upgrade for the original Vector drive, however.

Top-tier pricing, Could perform better in smaller random transfer workloads
With its solid overall performance, the OCZ Vector 150 is a worthy addition to the OCZ lineup. What really makes the drive pop though is its endurance. Supporting 91TBW and five year warranty, the Vector 150 offers perhaps the most well rounded feature se...
I wanted to create a line or two in the conclusion regarding Warranty. This SSD will receive 5 years of warranty and that's just classy. As stated realistically you can write 10GB per day (365 days a year) for 25 years before you run out of juice. With t...

OCZ has kept the Vector line fresh by introducing 19nm Toshiba flash into their top tier consumer product. Performance was not negatively affected by the smaller process, and the 50GB/day throughput rating over a 5-year warranty span shows that both O...
