Abstract: It was nearing the end of 2008; Intel had just released its widely-successful X25-M SSDs into the market. At the time, these SSD delivered the best performance, the best reliability, and the best sustained performance without any of the prominent shortcom...
OCZ has impressed us with the Vector series. Unlike almost all SSDs that we have reviewed in the past, the performance was consistently strong. Take the file copy tests for example, the Vector 512GB was always very close to the top of our graphs and de...
IMPORTANT: Although the rating and final score mentioned in this conclusion are made to be as objective as possible, please be advised that every author perceives these factors differently at various points in time. While we each do our best to ensure...
Great performance, Solid data transfer performance, Acronis True Image software included, Does not have the incompressible data issue like SandForce drives, 5 year warranty

If the Vector was the last ditch effort of a dying company it would be a valiant one, but I don’t see OCZ going anywhere. The Barefoot 3 controller is what OCZ has been working towards for the past few years. This is why they made the acquisitions th...

OCZ's Vector SSD is an excellent new drive that will provide positive momentum to OCZ, which has recently been plagued by poor business news. This drive's in-house Indilinx controller and its cheap, readily available synchronous NAND flash also lead to...
Ok, you have seen all the numbers, and where this drive lands in the landscape of SSD's. To be brief, it's really the fastest drive of this type we have tested. OCZ has gone to great lengths in bringing this drive to market as a more reliable and faster...

Strong overall performance, particularly in random workloads.
More expensive than other 256GB SSDs
The OCZ Vector Series VTR1-25SAT3-256G 256GB internal solid-state drive features the new Indilinx controller, and some strong performance, but it's one of the more expensive SSDs in its category....
Abstract: Installing an SSD in your PC, be it a laptop or a desktop, is one of the easiest and most effective ways to boost the machine's overall performance. The change won't be merely noticeable—it will startle you. Your system will boot more quickly, windows and...
Barefoot 3 is one hell of a controller and Vector one hell of a drive. OCZ has put together the complete package and Vector is a drive we recommend you buy. Performance is class leading and OCZ has turned over a new leaf putting great emphasis on deliv...
