The SSD market is flooded with products
A stunning
Well balanced performer that claims the Number 1 spot
Abstract: The Samsung 840 Pro was our top SSD until the OCZ Vector came along several months later and was able to run neck-and-neck with the Sammy through our benchmark gauntlet. As it currently stands, the 256GB versions of these drives both wear a 9/Kick Ass ban...
When the OC Vector came in, I was excited to see an SSD that seemed to break from the mold from OCZ. But honestly, I was focusing more on the drives aesthetics than anything. When I opened up the Vector I saw that this is really the heart of this drive a...
Abstract: When SSD makers want to emphasize their advantages, they often talk about how much engineering resources they put into their products. A typical SSD has three basic constituents: flash memory, controller and firmware. Not all of the firms engaged into ...
Available in 128GB, 256GB and 512GB capacities, Excellent sequential read and write speeds, Good random read and write performance, Performs equally well with compressible and incompressible data, Good looking, ultra-slim design, SATA 6Gb/s interface, Syn
Pricey, Does not support hardware based encryption
OCZ has knocked another one out of the park with its new Vector Series SSD. Powered by the company's own Indilinx-infused Barefoot 3 controller, the Vector combines synchronous MLC NAND with a massive cache to deliver some of the best all around perfo...
Abstract: We managed to get our hands on OCZ's current SSD flagship, the Vector and pit it against Corsair's top offer in a clash of titans. Since it launched late last year, the OCZ Vector has been getting nothing but words of praise, mostly thanks to the company'...
The OCZ Vector is OCZ's first 'premium' SSD with its own controller (software and hardware). The performance measurements in our test system speak for themselves and are, on average, at the same level as the Samsung SSD 840 Pro. The Vector makes an excel...
Stable operation under a heavy workload, Very high sequential reading and writing performance, even at very low queue depths, Great 4K random writing performance regardless queue depths, Excellent 4K random reading performance regardless queue depths, SATA 6Gbps support, TRIM support under Windows 7 and Windows 8, Low access times, 5 year warranty
Terrific performance, 5year warranty, just about the perfect upgrade for anyone looking to make their SATAequipped Mac's hard drive fly.
Somewhat power intensive, drive will have to be mounted internally inside your Mac to be formatted before data can be cloned over to it, great performance still comes at a premium for a 256 gigabyte drive
Fastest all-around drive we've tested, Five-year warranty, Slim 7mm shell will fit in more laptops, Desktop drive adapter, migration software included in box
Pricey for the capacity, Not the fastest drive we've tested in important small-file tests
OCZ's latest high-end drive impresses in overall performance, making it a fine choice for enthusiasts and professional content creators. Those primarily interested in fast bootups and app launches, though, may want to look to lesser-priced alternativ...

OCZ has been viewed as having a rather chequered past by more than one, gaining notoriety for having incredible performing RAM that seemed to last only days on the market before being declared EOL, and available in only the smallest of batches. The purc...
