Vertex SSD Makes its Mark on the Storage Industry in Recent Reviews
2009-02-27Possibly one of the most anticipated products in OCZ
history, The OCZ Vertex Solid State Drive is a scorching hot topic
in the computing and enthusiast communities, as customers eagerly
anticipate getting their hands on one of their own. A few of the
most respected tech sites took a shot at the first available models,
and the results are nothing short of stellar. SSD experts displayed
the benefits of the Vertex's sophisticated technology, architecture,
and performance, all while proving you don't have to pay the highest
cost for the highest performance!
Benchmark Reviews: Golden Tachometer Award
"Based on the collection of benchmark performance tests we've
conducted, the OCZ Vertex offers linear bandwidth so far ahead of
previous competition that it might require calling this a new
generation product in order to justify how so many other 'new'
products have just been left behind. the OCZ Vertex MLC Solid State
Drive offers tremendous performance in read and write bandwidth
speeds and an exceptional 0.10 ms response time at a attainable
price. Second to none, the Vertex SSD easily outperforms a RAID-0
set of Western Digital VelociRaptor hard drives. I can recommend the
OCZ Vertex to cutting-edge super-users and performance enthusiasts
who want unmatched response and speed from their computer system."
CD Freaks: Editor's Choice Award (5-Star Rated)
“The OCZ Technology Vertex series drives are quite incredible. This is the first SSD drive I can honestly say is completely stable when used as a system drive. It's also incredibly fast. Reading access times are lightning fast and applications load in an instant, making the Vertex series of drives ideal as the operating system drive with all the user’s installed applications. Noise levels from the drive is null; there are no moving parts so the drive is completely silent.OCZ Technology care about their customers and they have an excellent support forum. There is no doubt in my mind that a lot of work has gone into the design of this drive, to make sure it performs extremely well under very heavy load in the real world. No doubt the much more advanced Indilinx Barefoot SSD controller also plays its part in boosting performance. The Vertex also received our highest editor rating”
PC Perspective: Vertex Performance Preview
"The OCZ Vertex 120GB drive is the first drive to consistently beat out the Intel X25-M. The new OCZ Vertex solid state drive is one of the most impressive SSDs we have tested to date. I know that there is much excitement in the hardware community about this drive and for good reason: it uses a brand new controller from a brand new company and as such performance was an unknown. Many in the community have been billing it as the first true competitor to Intel's X25-M line of mainstream MLC drives and it indeed lives up to that status. As it turns out, the performance lives up to the excitement and expectations."
