  • After years of begging, OCZ has finally delivered much of what we've wanted in an SSD: low write amplification and very good random/sequential write performance. It could use a more aggressive real-time garbage collection algorithm but running an OS with...

  • 5-Year Warranty, Competitive Pricing, Great Random Access Performance
  • Relatively Low Sequential Transfers, Not Clearly Faster than Vertex 3
  • To test sequential reads (and writes) we also did some real-world file copy tests using a 5.7GB compressed file and timed the results. As you'd expect looking back at the Vertex 4's write performance, it came in with the best write speeds. The Vertex 4's...

  • The all new Vertex 4 series seems to be a strong basis and leaves me with thirst for some more. Realistically for those on Vertex 3 or for that matter any modern slash proper SATA3 based SSD -- you'll hardly miss out on anything. If anything the Vertex 4...
