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.
Abstract: While manufacturers have announced larger capacity SSDs (2TB and more), for storing a lot of files, a mechanical HDD is still a much more affordable option. This looks set to change in the future though, as SSD production volume increases lead to lower pr...

Let's tackle the elephant in the room or at least attempt to. The topic of OCZ's long term, err... are they still going to be around six months from now or not. That's what we need to think about. No company has done more for the consumer SSD market than...

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....

So, where does Vector 150 land in the grand scheme of things? Compared to the previous version when it comes to benchmarks, the two drives are nearly identical. Some benchmark wins go to the older model, and some to the new Vector 150 model. When it come...
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...

The OCZ Vector 150 is a solid-feeling and impressively performing SSD. It compares well with Intel's latest performance drive, yet is closer to 50p per gigabyte rather than 75p. At that price, it deserves a strong recommendation.Tags:StorageBest prices to...

Good price
512 GBclass drive has 480 GB available
The fruits of Toshiba MLC NAND flash and the union of OCZ and Indilinx's controller designers have created a solid-feeling and performing performance SSD. It compares well with Intel's latest performance drive, yet is closer to 50p per gigabyte rather tha...
Abstract: Last month we published a review on Intels new 730 series SSD , based on the same controller that you can find in Intel enterprise SSDs. As the controller is developed in house by Intel they claim that the consistency in the performance of these drives ...
Great Durability, High Performance, Included Software & Accessories
Heavy (for notebook users), Expensive in comparison
The OCZ Vector 150 is the logical step up in performance from the Vector 450. We already knew the vector 450 was a great performer as per our review here and while the Vector 150 succeeded in bettering this drive in a lot of tests we were not exactly ...
