  • OCZ did not disappoint, delivering to us a drive with ground breaking performance. The Vertex 4 is a worthy successor to the Vertex 3. The drive really has the ability to maintain performance as it fills up. I have seen benches on the OCZ forum where ...

  • I think that the OCZ Vertex 4 is a solid state drive that caters more to the users of this site versus others out there. What we can see is good sequential speeds (much better with the v1.4 firmware might I add) and great high-queue depth random I/O. Afte...

  • The Vertex 4 SSD showcased mixed results in the synthetic portion of our benchmarking, but the real world results were just phenomenal. This meant the Vertex 4 easily beat all the other tested drives for Windows 7 boot/shutdown times and loading into game...
