  • The latest Vertex 4 firmware updates provide a noticeable boost in sequential write speed at 128GB and 256GB capacities, and the low queue depth sequential read performance issue has also been fixed. Our primary complaints from the initial review, at leas...

  • The notion that storage is limited for most users is not a comfortable thought. During the reign of second and third generation SSDs, most mainstream users were forced by budgetary reasons toward drives under 128GB capacity. SandForce based drives paire...

  • We were very pleased with the OCZ Vertex 4 series, based on the Everest 2 controller, in our previous review. Being rather affordable, these SSDs almost matched the performance of top-end SSDs with other controllers and seemed to lack just a little to...

  • Since this is a revisited review, I'll mostly be talking about performance and value. Those interested in more information about the Vertex 4, be sure to read our review of the Vertex 4 128GB SSD as well.Taking a look at performance then, OCZ's Vertex 4 2...

  • The OCZ Technology Vertex 4 256GB solid state drive is an impressive unit, and a nice upgrade over the previous generation of Vertex drives. It offers more than you would expect from a consumer class drive, with fast transfer rates, and a 2.5" drive adapt...
