  • It is worth mentioning that the OCZ Vertex 4 has been on the market since April of this year, so it is hardly a newcomer compared to some of the SSDs we have directly compared it to. Seeing that it has been selling for six months and still shows to be one...

  • Abstract:  After the first generation of the SandForce controller, the successor was hotly anticipated. Although the data compression principle was a bit controversial at first, the second generation of SandForce controller logic launched an industry-wide trend ...

  • Excellent price and value, 5-year warranty, Much better sequential reads with firmware update
  • Weak write performance in some tests, Larger-capacity V4s offer same value, better performance
  • We also noticed that the percentage difference in the drive's read and write performance compared to the other SSDs we tested (or specifically to the other Vertex 4s) often varied greatly.  For example, in a given benchmark test, the Vertex 4 would hit a...

  • No Included Instructions for Beginners
  • If you're in the market for a computer upgrade, it's hard to not highly recommend the OCZ Vertex 4. Even if you have an old SATA-II computer like us, it still offers a gigantic improvement over any other drive we've used/tested. The real-life perform...

  • s As you can see, there is a LOT to digest when considering the performance of an SSD. It is NOT as simple as firing off a few canned benchmarks and posting screenshots. With that said, what have we learned about the Vertex 4 after over 40 hours of str...

  • OCZ had a very good run with SandForce but, if the Vertex 4 is any indication, the company's future is with Indilinx. Powered by the Indilinx infused Everest 2 controller, the Vertex 4 combines synchronous MLC NAND with a massive cache to deliver some...

  • The Vertex 4 is a market leader, at least in Performance mode. Writes are simply off the charts, blowing away the competition, especially with in-compressible data. Just look back up at the AS SSD results and be amazed again. There are drawbacks; the b...

  • Should an Indilinx driven Vertex series drive perform like previous generations? If it bears the name Vertex, it should. In fact when the Vertex moved from 34nm to 25nm OCZ allowed people to return then rev 2 Vertex 3 because it did not have the exact s...
