Sata 6GBps interface is already under ‘bandwidth limitation’ threat
This drive is leading the way for others to follow
As we've said before and we'll continue to hammer any chance we can get, the single biggest bottleneck in modern systems is the traditional plattered hard drive, and using an SSD in your system will make such a massive difference that you'll want to cr...
SATA 3 Gb/s treated us very well, but the current generation of SSDs is just beginning to run into a bandwidth bottleneck. And that's what validates the inclusion of SATA 6Gb/s in the desktop space. Micron had the first SSD to exceed the limits of 3 Gb...
Really* fast throughput - saturating SATA 6Gb/sec, Excellent IOPS scaling at higher queue depths, Overall performance similar to the more expensive Vertex 3 Pro, with the added bonus of more accessible storage
Odd stutter observed on our batch file write test (possibly due to beta firmware, and also present in the Vertex 3 Pro beta we tested last week), Performance at lower queue depths could be improved upon, Price (see below)
OCZ was the first to get next generation SandForce out the door, and with a consumer Vertex 3 following just 1 week after their Pro model, they seem to have closed their lead-time gap considerably. We were happy to see the consumer model not suffer too gr...

Good performance, Outperforms the RevoDrive X2 on some tests, Available up to 480GB, Affordable SATA III performance, Broad compatibility
Doesn't perform up to rated speeds
OCZ has pushed the boundaries on performance with their Vertex series and the nice thing about this standard 2.5" drive is that is can be used by pretty much everyone. It fits great in a laptop or desktop machine and gives great performance improvements t...
Abstract: SSD firmware updates. We’ve all heard about them but is there any tangible benefit to actually upgrading your SSD with the latest firmware? In this article we take a look at two identical Vertex 3 drives; one of which is a pre-retail sample with beta...

Installing a solid state drive is one of the enhancements that really offers a tangible reduction in time to complete both read and write tasks. As the technology improves, the gains in performance are steadily increasing, as seen when comparing the V...
There are good solid state drives, there are great solid state drives and then there is the OCZ Vertex 3. It not only raises the bar for what a single SSD can do but this drive may actually breathe some serious excitement into the storage market. No ma...
As we said earlier, there are two versions of SandForce 480GB drives manufactured with the SF-228X and synchronous flash. The first we reviewed today that uses 16 NAND ICs, but a few other companies went with a slightly modified controller (SF-2282) a...
Abstract: In the short time SSDs have been affordable to mere mortals, there’s been one brand name that has been synonymous with high performance at a premium price point. OCZ’s Vertex range has constantly maintained its lead at the top of the NAND-powered p...
Abstract: SandForce is the Intel of the SSD world, despite Intel's best attempts to be the Intel of the storage world. In the last two years this young company has created the finest SSD controllers on the market, showing Intel a thing or two about delivering pr...
