OCZ has been viewed as having a rather chequered past by more than one, gaining notoriety for having incredible performing RAM that seemed to last only days on the market before being declared EOL, and available in only the smallest of batches. The purc...

Performance from the Vector is as expected. OCZ is marketing the Vector as their flagship SATA based consumer SSD and well, it simply delivers. It's one of the highest performing SSDs on the market, and it's capable of pushing sequential performance that ...
At the time of this review the OCZ Vector 128GB SSD sells for right at $147.99 USD, and our European friends will find the price around £107.00. There are many 128GB SSDs on the market for substantially less than that, but with that lower price comes lowe...
OCZ has promised that the Vector would deliver some very impressive numbers, in part due to the Barefoot 3 controller and to the extra cache the drive comes packed with. Their claims of Sequential reads at 550 MB/s and Sequential writes at 530 MB/s were a...
OCZ has been a pioneer in the solid state drive field for more than four years now. Some of their models, like the high-performance Vertex and mainstream Agility series are in their fourth generation design. In purchasing Indilinx, OCZ brings control...

The Vector is the fastest SSD on the market today, and it offers top notch performance across the board no matter what type of workload. For its excellent performance, it earns the Bjorn3D Golden Bear Award....
In a market loaded with similar products it can be difficult to create something that stands out from the crowd, and even more difficult to create one that delivers on what it promises. Yet that is exactly what OCZ did when they released the Vector series...
