The editors didn't like

  • I had no complaints about the Vertex 2 by the end of my testing
  • Paying for capacity you won't use thanks to the generous over-provisioning
  • Looking only at select benchmarks may show disappointing results
  • High price per Gigabyte
  • No capacities from 80 96GB are available.
  • Expensive with high cost per GB of user storage.
  • The 2.5-inch version performed a little bit better
  • More expensive than the 2.5-inch version
  • Random writes still not in Intel territory.
  • Price Vs Storage Capacity
  • Not 3rdGeneration SATA6.0 compliant
  • Lacks integrated USB MiniB data connection
  • Some manufacturers offer fiveyear warranty
  • Price
  • None that I found

  • With SandForce products being so new to the market we knew that additional features would emerge as the firmware is refined. What we didn’t realize until recently was that extra capacity for the consumer drives was even possible. Even now we are ver...

  • As I sit here revisiting what we discussed in this article, I can’t stop myself from thinking about the future of what is to come. The SSD market is changing so rapidly right now and no one understands that more than OCZ. Just days before CES so man...

  • The OCZ Vertex 2E 120GB is a large-capacity SSD that is capable of holding Windows and a host of other essential programs. Its impressive write speeds make it an excellent option for file storage. It wasn’t the fastest or the cheapest drive on test, b...

  • Abstract:  When it comes time to hunt down the ultimate in storage performance, you simply cannot settle for standard SSDs. Instead, look to PCI Express-based drives that circumvent the limitations of SATA. We have products from Fusion-io, LSI, and OCZ on the ben...

  • 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 compres...

  • The OCZ Vertex was a fun product to review to get back in OCZ’s good books, but don’t think that means we’ve given it an easy ride. Sure it did well in some of the Synthetic tests, really pushing ahead in a few, but it didn’t do so well when it comes ...
