The editors didn't like
Availability may be an issue at this price.
Higher than average 4k max latency
Pricey
Read speeds (and other benchmarks) were not quite as impressive
Higher-end Vector drive with longer warranty cost just a little more at time of review
Price per GiB is a little high currently
Warranty is only for three years
Minor price premium
Nothing worth mentioning at this price point.
Too expensive
3year warranty
More expensive than comparable drives
Not as fast as other high-end drives (which are more expensive
Though)
Expensive enthusiastlevel product
OCZ Vector offers fiveyear warranty
Slower write speed on the 128GB version
Price is competitive but hardly enough to differentiate it over creme of the crop models.
When OCZ introduced the Vector, not only was impressed with its performance, but I was very happy to see OCZ thinking outside of the box. What I mean by that of course was OCZ put together a casing for their SSD that was considerably stronger and better ...
OCZ's new Vertex 450 128GB solid state drive, equipped with the Indilinx Barefoot 3 M10 controller, managed to serve up some decent performance in both a single and raid 0 configuration. Overall the system responded with faster start up, shutdown and prog...

With the Vector taking the top spot as OCZ's flagship drive, the Vertex 450 has been repositioned as a more mainstream SSD. Designed for today’s multimedia, multitasking world, the Vertex 450 combines OCZ's new Indilinx-infused Barefoot 3 M10 controll...

When compare the drive in RAID 0, we see it definitely offers some nice performance improvement especially at higher queue depth. As manufacturing process improves, we are going to see 128Gb die to become a standard pretty soon in many SSDs. The larger ca...
Sleek design, Great performance, Incredible performance and value with two drives in RAID, 3 year warranty
Slower write speed on the 128GB version
