If you want a new SSD this is the one to get. It has redefined the market
Abstract: We are usually not very thrilled about reviewing SSDs with 120 or 128 gigabytes storage capacity. This capacity is just not good for showing what a particular SSD design can do. Today’s SSDs use eight-channel controllers and 64-gigabit flash memory chi...
The new Vertex 4 SSDs from OCZ incorporate the Indilinx Everest 2 controller, unlike the second and third iterations from the past; the new controller comes with features like Auto-Encryption, AES-256 support, Ndurance 2.0 Technology for reduced write...
Since reviews for each SSD tested today is already available, this article is more simply about RAID 0 performance testing rather than a full fledged review, so I'll only be sharing some general thoughts on SSD RAID 0 configurations along with a little bi...
It is worth mentioning that the OCZ Vertex 4 has been on the market since April of this year, so it is hardly a newcomer compared to some of the SSDs we have directly compared it to. Seeing that it has been selling for six months and still shows to be one...
Abstract: After the first generation of the SandForce controller, the successor was hotly anticipated. Although the data compression principle was a bit controversial at first, the second generation of SandForce controller logic launched an industry-wide trend ...
Excellent price and value, 5-year warranty, Much better sequential reads with firmware update
Weak write performance in some tests, Larger-capacity V4s offer same value, better performance
We also noticed that the percentage difference in the drive's read and write performance compared to the other SSDs we tested (or specifically to the other Vertex 4s) often varied greatly. For example, in a given benchmark test, the Vertex 4 would hit a...

Really Fast, Cool, Silent, Energy Efficient, Durable, Reliable, Affordable, 5Year Warranty, The
No Included Instructions for Beginners
If you're in the market for a computer upgrade, it's hard to not highly recommend the OCZ Vertex 4. Even if you have an old SATA-II computer like us, it still offers a gigantic improvement over any other drive we've used/tested. The real-life perform...
s As you can see, there is a LOT to digest when considering the performance of an SSD. It is NOT as simple as firing off a few canned benchmarks and posting screenshots. With that said, what have we learned about the Vertex 4 after over 40 hours of str...

Abstract: “My SSD is faster than your HDD”!!!Yeah, but where's the fun in that. How fast can she run compared to her counterpart?This is the first drive from OCZ that I am reviewing- and the first drive with Indilinx Controller.To summarize and in my words/observat...
Available in 64GB, 128GB, 256GB and 512GB capacities, Good sequential read and write speeds, Excellent random read and write performance, Performs equally well with compressible and incompressible data, Indilinx Ndurance 2.0 technology extends life of NAN
Requires firmware updates for best performance
OCZ had a very good run with SandForce but, if the Vertex 4 is any indication, the company's future is with Indilinx. Powered by the Indilinx infused Everest 2 controller, the Vertex 4 combines synchronous MLC NAND with a massive cache to deliver some...
