The Toshiba OCZ VX500 SSD has great performance and a high endurance rating. The drive includes a five-year warranty with advance free-shipping replacement
Good overall performance, Weighs less than two ounces
Slow for MLC when reading our 20GB group of small files and folders
Though we weren't overly impressed with the VX500's small-file read performance, its overall and sustained performance still easily exceeds that of TLC drives. When comparing it against other MLC drives, consider the overall performance and cost. If y...
Great overall performance, Uses more reliable MLC NAND, SLC caching seems to be implemented better than TLC-based drives, 5-year OCZ Advanced Warranty, OCZ SSD Utility Software
SLC caching will eventually slow the drive down
The OCZ VX500 from Toshiba is a strong contender in the mainstream sector of solid state drive offerings. We have seen many companies use 3D NAND or the less expensive TLC NAND for their drives in this sector, so it is interesting to see Toshiba go with M...
Standout warranty and endurance, Well-designed software utility
Merely average speed in most tests, Not aggressively priced, given performance
The VX500 is a decent SSD with high endurance ratings and a premium warranty. But it doesn't have the incrementally faster speed or rock-bottom pricing needed to prevail in the crowded market for SATA SSDs. Read More…...

These days, the Toshiba OCZ VX500 is competing in a very difficult market segment. Enthusiasts who want top notch performance tend to look to PCIe based SSDs while most mainstream users who simply want better performance than their aging hard drives focus...

Silky smooth operation as a system drive, Excellent sequential reading and writing performance, even at very low queue depths, Outstanding 4k random reading performance at high queue depths, Outstanding mixed read/write performance, TRIM support under

The Toshiba OCZ VX500 512GB SSD looks like it has decent performance in our quick four corner testing, but failed to bring anything new to the table. The Toshiba OCZ VX500 bring fast and affordable storage to the market, but how many times have you alread...

The VX500's excellent performance in real-world testing left us feeling pretty good about its prospects, but it's time to find out exactly where it lands in our rankings. To compare each drive, we then take the geometric mean of a basket of results from...
