The editors didn't like
This is rare for me
But I've got nothin. Seriously. Ok
So it doesn't wash my dishes.
Price could be a little lower
Improved power consumption still trails behind some competing SSDs
Pricey
Does not support hardware based encryption
More expensive than other 256GB SSDs
Pricey for the capacity
Not the fastest drive we've tested in important small-file tests
The Vector Series doesn't support hardware encryption
And is not as energy-efficient as its peers
MSRP Somewhat High
Expensive
Nothing to mention.
Somewhat power intensive
Drive will have to be mounted internally inside your Mac to be formatted before data can be cloned over to it
Great performance still comes at a premium for a 256 gigabyte drive
Expensive enthusiastlevel product
Aboveaverage SSD heat output
Slightly more expensive than other drives
High price
None that I found
We can't question the drive's reliability at this point

Perhaps the thing I have always liked about OCZ is their willingness to push ahead, and more often than not, in the face of adversity. Their journey has not always been the smoothest, but the OCZ name has been synonymous with SSD innovation and they have...
The New OCZ Vector Solid State DriveThere are still a lot of unknowns with the OCZ Vector, considering it is brand new to market and is OCZ's first drive which utilizes all in-house technology, save for the actual NAND. With that said, the OCZ Vector appe...

With the new Vector series SSDs OCZ again targets the higher segment of the enthusiast market. There's very little wrong with this SSD drive other then it could use a few tweaks here and there for some benchmark tests. Realistically though, and we stated...

Top notch performance that is
We can't question the drive's reliability at this point, but OCZ's track record is mixed, at least compared to the likes of Samsung.
OCZ has impressed us with the Vector, 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 was always very close to the top of our graphs and despite never actual...

OCZ has done it. They've taken their not-too-long-ago purchase of Indilinx, matured it and created a controller that does a very good job. The features of this drive are excellent and the performance is even better. The fact that OCZ is seeing the future ...

Higher CPU usage in some tests
OCZ's Vector line of solid state drives is every bit the performer that the Vertex 4 drives are with very few exceptions. In many of the tests, the two fastest drives were the Vertex 4 and OCZ's latest Indilinx Barefoot 3-equipped Vector. The only real we...
After all the setbacks in recent months, OCZ needed a new consumer-level product which categorically proved they were still a force to be reckoned with and worthy of consideration. To accomplish this, a fresh start was required and the introduction of ...
