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.
