The OCZ Vertex 2 is a fast SATA 3Gb/s SSD, with good multitasking performance too as we noted from its ability to juggle parallel data streams without significant slowdown. Its headline sequential read/write speeds do assume you’re using easily compre...
The Vertex 2 line of SSDs from OCZ are aimed at the enthusiast market but I would want it in any business notebook. The drives come in capacities from 50GB to 480GB and feature consistent read and writes speeds of 285MB/s and 275MB/s for capacities...

SSDs still aren’t ready to push hard drives out completely; capacity and price haven’t reached parity with their mechanical counterparts yet. That doesn’t mean SSDs aren’t a viable option though, especially as a boot drive with a larger mechanical dr...
With the wide selection of SSDs on the market today, there is no question that some drives will be slower than others. Reviewers like ourselves and buyers alike understand that some models will score differently, and we can choose with our wallets. Th...
Good performance, 3.5-inch form factor, TRIM support, 3-year warranty
The 2.5-inch version performed a little bit better, More expensive than the 2.5-inch version
I really like that OCZ has released 2 of their most popular solid state drives in the 3.5-inch form factor. Solid state drives started as boot drives for notebooks, that is why they had the 2.5-inch form factor. So in the beginning if you wanted to u...

Abstract: As opposed to the slowly developing HDD market (our recent roundup covered the entire year), solid state drives are evolving at a much more rapid rate and bringing us more news in a shorter period. There are SSD products with new controllers, with PCI ...
OCZ continues to produce solid state drives that excel in access speed, read/write throughput and input/output operations per second. The 120Gb 3.5" Vertex 2 is equal to or better than its 2.5" SandForce-based siblings in most performance tests we've...

Abstract: Last week, we looked at Kingston's affordable solid state drive offering. While it was completely adequate, the average-ish performance would probably put off enthusiasts.This week, we'll be looking at another SSD albeit from a company which focuses on pe...
The OCZ Vertex 2 is a great solid state drive. It not only beats the previous Vertex series by a large margin, but also beats other similar drives from other competitors. While SSD’s are still expensive, a small drive like this is a great starter drive...
