The editors didn't like

  • Price Vs Storage Capacity
  • Price
  • None that I found
  • Paying for capacity you won't use thanks to the generous over-provisioning
  • Looking only at select benchmarks may show disappointing results
  • High price per Gigabyte
  • Not 3rdGeneration SATA6.0 compliant
  • Lacks integrated USB MiniB data connection
  • Some manufacturers offer fiveyear warranty
  • I had no complaints about the Vertex 2 by the end of my testing
  • Pricing
  • Random writes still not in Intel territory.
  • The 2.5inch version performed a little bit better
  • More expensive than the 2.5inch version
  • Writing speed could be further improved
  • No capacities from 80 96GB are available.

  • The OCZ Vertex 2 is a fast SATA 3Gb/s SSD, with good multitasking performance too as we noted from its ability to juggle parallel data streams without significant slowdown. Its headline sequential read/write speeds do assume you’re using easily compre...

  • The Vertex 2 line of SSDs from OCZ are aimed at the enthusiast market but I would want it in any business notebook. The drives come in capacities from 50GB to 480GB and feature consistent read and writes speeds of 285MB/s and 275MB/s for capacities...

  • Abstract:  A few weeks ago, my main desktop computer decided cash in on me. And before you ask, yes, as the Editor-in-Chief here at APH Networks, I do have tons of replacement components readily available on hand. The thing is, I am not about to reinstall Windows...

  • SSDs still aren’t ready to push hard drives out completely; capacity and price haven’t reached parity with their mechanical counterparts yet. That doesn’t mean SSDs aren’t a viable option though, especially as a boot drive with a larger mechanical dr...

  • Good performance, 3.5inch form factor, TRIM support, 3year warranty,
  • The 2.5inch version performed a little bit better, More expensive than the 2.5inch version
  • I really like that OCZ has released 2 of their most popular solid state drives in the 3.5-inch form factor. Solid state drives started as boot drives for notebooks, that is why they had the 2.5-inch form factor. So in the beginning if you wanted to u...

  • Most Solid State Drives on the market now are based off MLC NAND flash and feature a controller from either Intel, Indillinx, Jmicron or Sandforce. Whilst offering fairly good performance for a significantly lower cost as compared to SSDs using DRAM or...

  • OCZ continues to produce solid state drives that excel in access speed, read/write throughput and input/output operations per second. The 120Gb 3.5" Vertex 2 is equal to or better than its 2.5" SandForce-based siblings in most performance tests we've...
