Availability may be an issue at this price.
Higher than average 4k max latency
Pricey

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

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.
In the introduction of this review, we have set out to find out "what the fudge is this crap" about the OCZ Vertex 450 256GB. I mean, what is it? It is not the 450th generation of the Vertex line. But if it was, and if Winston Churchill was writing this r...
OCZ’s Vertex 450 represents a seamless blend of technologies in order to create a drive that caters to budget-conscious buyers but doesn’t sacrifice much in the way of performance. This perfectly follows today’s realities: most end users love reading a...
Other drives are faster outright, Samsung 840 Pro is cheaper
OCZ's Vertex 450 is a strong contender in the mid-range, enthusiast solid-state drive market. It competes directly with Samsung's well-regarded 840 Pro and Seagate's SSD 600...

Very competitve speeds, Inhouse firmware, Nipping at the heels of the Samsung Pro drive
Random read speed could be better, Pricey
The Vertex 450 is right up there in almost every metric. Sequential reads and writes are close enough to the competition that it hardly matters, and so are our application tests, though you can say that of every drive. Random write performance is as good...
Before we give our breakdown on Vertex 450 256GB SSD, let's first take a look at Vector to gain some insight. At the time of writing Newegg still had Vector 256GB in stock and selling at $249.99. Vector ships with the same accessory package as Vertex...
Abstract: Unless you're sporting really old hardware, an SSD is the best sure-fire way to boost the performance of your desktop or laptop computer. There is so much choice now it's difficult to know whether there is a significant difference between various SSDs a...
Well known vendor, 3 year warranty, High IOPs, Based on Vector line of drives, Acronis TrueImage HD included
Sequential speeds slightly slower than expected, Strong competition at this price point,
The Vertex line of drives have been very close to the front-line of OCZ's battle in the SSD market, with a solid set of specifications and a controller that is derived from the top end Vector line of drives, the Vertex 450, on paper, is looking very stron...
The key comparisons to make with the Vertex 450 are the drive it replaces, the Vertex 4, and the drive that it's priced to compete against, which is currently the Samsung SSD 840 Pro 256GB. With respect to the first, improvements are sadly not consistent...
Good sequential read/write results, 3 years warranty, Affordable
Fell behind in Iometer benchmarks
OCZ have remained a popular choice for storage products for many years and to that end they have claimed many an accolade. Having moved away from SandForce OCZ are now utilising Indilinx with the latest Vertex 450. They acquired this company back in 2...
The Vertex 450 is fast drive, reasonably priced, and a nice addition to the OCZ portfolio. It should certainly be on your short list unless you're looking for absolute bleeding edge.Tags:Components,PC Upgrades,StorageBest prices todayRetailer Price Delive...
