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
