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.

As long as there's enough pricing space between the Vector and Vertex 450, OCZ's newer, more value-oriented model is the better buy. They're aesthetically similar, they perform a lot alike, and they're both plenty fast. Despite the added incentive of gett...

Price per GiB is a little high currently
The OCZ Vertex 450 SSDGenerationally, the Vertex 450 seems to mostly fit the profile of the original Vertex 3--consistent and high-performance. OCZ should be relieved to see its homegrown SSD faring so well versus some of the market's top competitors. Ho...

Excellent performance from a 20nm SSD, Excellent cost/GB (see below),
Availability may be an issue at this price.
Back when OCZ launched the Vertex 3.20, I felt like they were just checking the 20nm box with an underperforming, low-cost SSD. Within a month, however, they flipped that around entirely by launching another 20nm SSD driven by their powerhouse Indilin...

Price is competitive but hardly enough to differentiate it over creme of the crop models.
OCZ's own performance claims put the Vertex 450 256GB within 5 - 10MB/s of the Vector and this is what we observed when testing, the drives are very closely matched. That said there was more than one instance where the Vertex 450 256GB provided more perfo...
The Vertex 450 is a terrific product int terms of performance and reliability. Honestly we do have to say though that we really hope to see SATA4 anytime soon. All high-end SSD products these days perform in the upper class of performance, and that is th...

Whether you are a fan of OCZ or not, there is no overlooking the fact that they are a pioneer in the SSD industry, and unquestionably, the driving force that has pushed SSD advance to where it is today. Granted, they have jumped in with a head first appr...
First and foremost the elephant in the room. Is OCZ as a company still going to be around to take care of the consumers who have purchased OCZ products? The short answer is yes it is after being purchased by market giant Toshiba. How long the brand will r...
