Premium price
Power consumption increased with new controller and cache
I’d like to thank OCZ for making this review possible.
The Indilinx controller isn't as impressive as the SandForce in the Vertex 2.
Much more expensive than a mechanical hard drive
SSD Costs Are Still Higher Than Platter Drives
Metal case is heavier and less durable than plastic
The OCZ Vertex Turbo Series and Photofast G-Monster V5 proved to be the highest performing drives in the group represented in this article. The G-Monster in particulr offered strong performance in the ATTO, HD Tach, and SANDRA tests, where its read an...
Both the OCZ Vertex and Agility drives are lightning fast and we are impressed that they remain close to the top of the charts in testing. Both of the drives use the Indilinx Barefoot controller and weve seen that its one of the fastest controllers ...
Well if you thought about upgrading your current hard drive to an SSD the Vertex series drives would surely be a great choice. The transfer speed increase is obvious if you look at our tests, and we were testing on a netbook, I bet if we tested on a n...
Abstract: Solid State Drives (SSDs) are flash-based storage devices that have increasingly captured the attention of computer enthusiasts over the past few years. However, with prices dropping and increased competition that will continue this downward trend, SSD...

To an unknown user, the OCZ Vertex appears to be like all the other OCZ Solid State Drives. It’s a black box with an adhesive label indicating the series and capacity. Function comes first in my books over form and the OCZ Vertex does exactly that...

Abstract: Up to now, Ive been hesitant to recommend Solid State Drives (SSDs) as a serious alternative to Hard Disk Drives (HDDs) since the really fast ones (like the Intel X25-E) were limited to a maximum capacity of 64G at very high prices. But the OCZ Vertex...
Abstract: While we had just thrown a few hard drives and a solid state drive into this OCZ Vertex 60GB comparison, you can easily see how your drive would compare to these numbers by running the disk suite that contains all of these automated, standardized test...
Following encouraging theoretical performance in HD-Tach, our FC-Test sequential test showed the Vertex to comfortably outpace every mechanical drive in the write tests, a feat only previously achieved by the SLC based Intel X25-E (which, if you rememb...
