Abstract: Launched in April 2010, the OCZ Vertex 2 100 GB uses the SandForce SF-1200 without RAM but with 128 GB of flash memory made up of 16 x 8GB chips manufactured...

I had no complaints about the Vertex 2 by the end of my testing
If you know you're ready to make the move to an SSD and want to skip over blowing your money on a budget model, only to upgrade in a few months anyway, then looking into a performance model drive like the OCZ Vertex 2 is likely a good choice. The Vert...
SSDs have really come a long way over their short existence. From the meager 60MB/s reads to the 285MB/s read bandwidth found on the Vertex 2 you can see how the new Sandforce 1200 controller has improved SSD performance over SATA3. I can only imagin...
Abstract: One of the major ways to increase your computers speed and effectiveness is by upgrading your regular hard drive to an SSD (Solid State Drive). With increased speeds, some other major differences in upgrading to an SSD drive are the fact the an SSD dri...
Abstract: With IOzone, the performance was spot-on for these large sequential file reads and writes. The OCZ Vertex 2 SSD benchmark results under Linux certainly speak for themselves: this is one heck of a fast SSD. The OCZ Vertex 2 with its SandForce SF-1200 ...
Away from our drives were arguably launched prematurely with too much over provisioning, the OCZ Vertex 2E is an very capable SSD, benefitting from great performance in all tasks. As we first established in the , there’s no discernable drop in perform...
When reviewing Solid State Drives it is very easy to find your head turned by gaudy numbers and snappy system response. Even a very poor performing drive is so comprehensively better than a hard drive that it's always difficult not to be impressed.Strange...
Having put the Vertex 2 to the test, I was amazed to see its outstanding overall performance. The write speeds were especially impressive when compared to drives we have tested in the past. Although their Agility series is known for its mid-range prici...
Abstract: With the size of pages and blocks of NAND increasing on these new chips, the controllers that use them will be aiming to make up for the losses in speed for smaller accesses that are inherent in these changes. Moreover, while this flash memory doesn't seem affected and still has an endurance of 5000 write cycl..
