If you want a new SSD this is the one to get. It has redefined the market
Great performance, 5 year warranty, No performance drop when dealing with incompressible data, Constant firmware updates have improved performance
None that I found
It was a very bold move by OCZ to go out and purchase Indilinx, thus acquiring the technology behind the Everest 2 platform. This really shows OCZ’s dedication to being one of the top manufacturers of solid state drives. They could have just as easil...
The last words in the introduction where 'the gift that keeps on giving ?' Yeah, it seems that way. The new 1.5 Firmware update again brings a performance increase towards this SSD. I like to use the words 'grosso modo' though as not everywhere we see the...
Abstract: Last year OCZ Technology acquired SSD controller maker Indilinx. Some months later the company launched its first post-acquisition SSD based on Indilinx silicon, the Octane series. Currently OCZ is offering the Vertex 4, an SSD based on its Indilinx Ev...
OCZ Technologies Vertex 4 is an ever evolving and highly specialized piece of hardware. New firmware is increasing performance at breakneck speed like we have never before seen. The new 1.5 firmware is another advancement in the Vertex 4’s quest for t...

Excellent IOPS in Iometer, Good random read, Excellent random and sequential write, Excellent performance under high queue depth, Great write performance regardless of file type, Competitive price, 5 year warranty
Sequential read is slower especially at low queue depth
The OCZ Vertex 4 with Indilinx Everest 2 controller delivers good random read, random write, and sequential write performance. Considering the pricing, performance, and the 5-year warranty, the Vertex 4 is certainly a great buy, and it earns the Bjorn3D ...
It should be noted that the launch firmware for the Vertex 4 was revision 1.3.X, and OCZ has since released the 1.4.1.3 update (the firmware utilized in our test sample). Amongst other things this version especially improves the Vertex 4's performance...
Performance, performance, performance. OCZ's support on the firmware side has proven reliable, plus you get a 5 year warranty
Premium priced product, probably worth it though
Given what we saw from the first Everest controller in the Octane last year, we weren't sure what to expect and if the Everest 2 would be able to best the SandForce SF-2281. Those concerns were quickly squelched as the Vertex 4 256GB defeated Kingston...
The OCZ Vertex 4 performed admirably during our testing and was consistently at the top when compare to other 128GB SSD's. The Vertex 4 even managed to come out ahead of some 240GB+ drives in several of the test results. The Vertex 4 showed rock solid sta...
Tieing up a 24-page roundup in a few lines isn’t easy, especially as the cost of flash memory is currently dropping, meaning that the price of 120 to 128 GB SSDs is changing almost daily, with some manufacturers responding faster than others. Pricing i...
The original Everest controller OCZ used for its Octane SSDs left us disappointed – the 1.13 firmware we reviewed it with was noticeably slower than both Crucial’s M4 and Samsung’s 830 drives. Thankfully, with the Vertex 4 256GB, OCZ has shown us that ...
