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...
Very fast, beats Sandforce-driven drives, Great price/performance, SATA 6 Gbps support, Supports TRIM, 5 year warranty, 3.5" adapter included
Bluescreen issues with 1.4 firmware, Needs SATA 6 Gbps controller to perform best
OCZ's Vertex 4 delivers impressive performance at a great price. Thanks to the Indilinx Everest 2 controller, the drive claims a leading spot in our performance benchmarks. We see it perform within 1% when compared to the fastest SandForce drives we ha...

Abstract: In our recent look at the Vertex 4 SSD equipped with firmware 1.4, we found that the 128 GB drive's write performance depended heavily on available capacity. OCZ disagreed, but then quickly rolled out firmware 1.5. So, we're back to test the new build. A...
Great performance, 5 year warranty, No performance drop when dealing with incompressible data, Constant firmware updates have improved performance
None that I found
It was a very bold move by OCZ to go out and purchase Indilinx, thus acquiring the technology behind the Everest 2 platform. This really shows OCZ’s dedication to being one of the top manufacturers of solid state drives. They could have just as easil...
The last words in the introduction where 'the gift that keeps on giving ?' Yeah, it seems that way. The new 1.5 Firmware update again brings a performance increase towards this SSD. I like to use the words 'grosso modo' though as not everywhere we see the...
Abstract: Last year OCZ Technology acquired SSD controller maker Indilinx. Some months later the company launched its first post-acquisition SSD based on Indilinx silicon, the Octane series. Currently OCZ is offering the Vertex 4, an SSD based on its Indilinx Ev...
