If you want a new SSD this is the one to get. It has redefined the market
The Vertex 4 is a market leader, at least in Performance mode. Writes are simply off the charts, blowing away the competition, especially with in-compressible data. Just look back up at the AS SSD results and be amazed again. There are drawbacks; the b...
Should an Indilinx driven Vertex series drive perform like previous generations? If it bears the name Vertex, it should. In fact when the Vertex moved from 34nm to 25nm OCZ allowed people to return then rev 2 Vertex 3 because it did not have the exact s...
The latest Vertex 4 firmware updates provide a noticeable boost in sequential write speed at 128GB and 256GB capacities, and the low queue depth sequential read performance issue has also been fixed. Our primary complaints from the initial review, at leas...
The notion that storage is limited for most users is not a comfortable thought. During the reign of second and third generation SSDs, most mainstream users were forced by budgetary reasons toward drives under 128GB capacity. SandForce based drives paire...
We were very pleased with the OCZ Vertex 4 series, based on the Everest 2 controller, in our previous review. Being rather affordable, these SSDs almost matched the performance of top-end SSDs with other controllers and seemed to lack just a little to...
Since this is a revisited review, I'll mostly be talking about performance and value. Those interested in more information about the Vertex 4, be sure to read our review of the Vertex 4 128GB SSD as well.Taking a look at performance then, OCZ's Vertex 4 2...

The OCZ Technology Vertex 4 256GB solid state drive is an impressive unit, and a nice upgrade over the previous generation of Vertex drives. It offers more than you would expect from a consumer class drive, with fast transfer rates, and a 2.5" drive adapt...
Very fast, beats Sandforce-driven drives, Great price/performance, SATA 6 Gbps support, Supports TRIM, 5 year warranty, 3.5" adapter included
Bluescreen issues with 1.4 firmware, Needs SATA 6 Gbps controller to perform best
OCZ's Vertex 4 delivers impressive performance at a great price. Thanks to the Indilinx Everest 2 controller, the drive claims a leading spot in our performance benchmarks. We see it perform within 1% when compared to the fastest SandForce drives we ha...

Abstract: In our recent look at the Vertex 4 SSD equipped with firmware 1.4, we found that the 128 GB drive's write performance depended heavily on available capacity. OCZ disagreed, but then quickly rolled out firmware 1.5. So, we're back to test the new build. A...
