Excellent all round performance and another high point for OCZ this year
Excellent performance from a 20nm SSD, Excellent cost/GB (see below),
Availability may be an issue at this price.
Back when OCZ launched the Vertex 3.20, I felt like they were just checking the 20nm box with an underperforming, low-cost SSD. Within a month, however, they flipped that around entirely by launching another 20nm SSD driven by their powerhouse Indilin...
Very strong performance from a mainstream SSD offering, Strong mixed I/O performance in our server workloads, In-house controller and firmware
Higher than average 4k max latency
The OCZ Vertex 450 is a high-performing mainstream client SSD that delivers strong performance while leveraging OCZ's in-house developed Barefoot 3 controller and the latest generation 20nm NAND...

If the performance of the Vector series SSDs made you drool but a little out of your price range, OCZ may have just the thing for you with the Vertex 450 series that offer similar performance for less coin....

Whether you are a fan of OCZ or not, there is no overlooking the fact that they are a pioneer in the SSD industry, and unquestionably, the driving force that has pushed SSD advance to where it is today. Granted, they have jumped in with a head first appr...
Solid, consistent performance, Good write performance, 3-year warranty, 7mm Z-Height
Price per GiB is a little high currently
The OCZ Vertex 450 SSDGenerationally, the Vertex 450 seems to mostly fit the profile of the original Vertex 3--consistent and high-performance. OCZ should be relieved to see its homegrown SSD faring so well versus some of the market's top competitors. Ho...

The Vertex 450 is a terrific product int terms of performance and reliability. Honestly we do have to say though that we really hope to see SATA4 anytime soon. All high-end SSD products these days perform in the upper class of performance, and that is th...

Great allround performance. Proven Indilinx controller. Worthy upgrade over previous Vertex SSD generation.
Price is competitive but hardly enough to differentiate it over creme of the crop models.
OCZ's own performance claims put the Vertex 450 256GB within 5 - 10MB/s of the Vector and this is what we observed when testing, the drives are very closely matched. That said there was more than one instance where the Vertex 450 256GB provided more perfo...
First and foremost the elephant in the room. Is OCZ as a company still going to be around to take care of the consumers who have purchased OCZ products? The short answer is yes it is after being purchased by market giant Toshiba. How long the brand will r...
In the introduction of this review, we have set out to find out "what the fudge is this crap" about the OCZ Vertex 450 256GB. I mean, what is it? It is not the 450th generation of the Vertex line. But if it was, and if Winston Churchill was writing this r...
