  • With the introduction of the Vertex 4, OCZ's SandForce period appears te come to a close. While the Vertex 3 and Agility 3 series won't be phased out right away, it is clear that the Vertex 4, Octane, and Petrol SSDs will receive all their attention fro...

  • We review many Solid State Drives on Kitguru every month and to be honest handling a deluge of SandForce 2281 powered drives can often be a tedious process. The results are generally so similar that it really does boil down to the specific manufacturer re...

  • Abstract:  OCZ breaks new ground with its Vertex 4 in that this isn't a SandForce-flavored SSD. The company's latest flagship features an Indilinx Everest 2 controller that definitely impresses us. Can Vertex 4 stand up against the SSD 520, m4, and Samsung 830? O...

  • Fast, Good storage variety, Secure
  • Slightly slow sequential read speeds
