Do you need more than 60GB SSD?
Quality doesn't come cheap
Random access of small files not as fast other operations
With the wide selection of SSDs on the market today, there is no question that some drives will be slower than others. Reviewers like ourselves and buyers alike understand that some models will score differently, and we can choose with our wallets. Th...
Good performance, 3.5-inch form factor, TRIM support, 3-year warranty
The 2.5-inch version performed a little bit better, More expensive than the 2.5-inch 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...
Abstract: OCZ Technology manufactures a model for any price or performance range. We already took a look at their budget/mainstream focused Agility; today we have a chance to put their new Vertex 2 to the test. We have in our lab's the 60GB OCZ Vertex 2 SATA II ...
Abstract: As opposed to the slowly developing HDD market (our recent roundup covered the entire year), solid state drives are evolving at a much more rapid rate and bringing us more news in a shorter period. There are SSD products with new controllers, with PCI ...
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...

The OCZ Vertex 2 is a great solid state drive. It not only beats the previous Vertex series by a large margin, but also beats other similar drives from other competitors. While SSD’s are still expensive, a small drive like this is a great starter drive...
Abstract: Launched in April 2010, the OCZ Vertex 2 100 GB uses the SandForce SF-1200 without RAM but with 128 GB of flash memory made up of 16 x 8GB chips manufactured...
Excellent performance, Good price (often on sale too), Included 3.5" mounting bracket
I had no complaints about the Vertex 2 by the end of my testing
If you know you're ready to make the move to an SSD and want to skip over blowing your money on a budget model, only to upgrade in a few months anyway, then looking into a performance model drive like the OCZ Vertex 2 is likely a good choice. The Vert...
SSDs have really come a long way over their short existence. From the meager 60MB/s reads to the 285MB/s read bandwidth found on the Vertex 2 you can see how the new Sandforce 1200 controller has improved SSD performance over SATA3. I can only imagin...
