Affordable
Reasonable performance
Reasonable endurance
The OCZ ARC 100 series is the most affordable solid-state drive on the market. The drive has good performance and supports encryption
The editors didn't like
Eclipsed by other SSDs in most tests
Not as fast as other affordable drives
No accessories in package
The new SSD doesn't come with any accessories or software
It has a short three-year warranty
And its performance ranks behind that of other recently released drives
Build Quality (Toshiba A19nm NAND Flash), Very Good Overall Performance,
Not Available In 1TB,
It's no secret that it's been almost 4 years since the last time i had something from OCZ here (not to mention that the last SSD to feature a controller by Indilinx was here even before then) so when they said we should expect their ARC 100...
Abstract: For those looking for a very economically priced SSD that's still reliable and from a well known vendor, the OCZ ARC 100 series might be the most tempting drive line-up yet. With the OCZ ARC 100 series, a 256GB SSD costs only $90 USD or a 480GB SSD for $1...
With the release of the OCZ ARC 100 SSD series, Toshiba/OCZ tried to design an for mainstream consumers looking for a value-oriented SSD.The drive uses a SATA 6Gb/s interface, the OCZ Barefoot 3 M10SS9189 controller, and features Toshiba's A19nm MLC Flash...
Reasonably speedy large-file read and write speeds, Same Barefoot controller as pricier Vertex 460
Crucial's MX100 drive costs a little less and delivers better performance overall, No 1TB model, Fewer in-box niceties than previous OCZ drives
OCZ's latest budget-minded SSD is competitively priced and comes with a new type of warranty, but other drives that cost just a little less deliver better overall performance. Read More…...
Good and consistent performance, Price, 3 year ShieldPlus warranty, Sticker on the drive makes it stand out
No accessory bundle
When it comes down to it this is not the fastest solid state drive out there, but it is not designed to be. As I mentioned in the introduction of this review this drive is more of a value-oriented drive and its price reflects that, but let's not take awa...

Overall, the ARC 100 delivers good performance especially at higher I/O requests. The drive may not be the fastest on the market for every single workload but it is no slouch either. It delivers more than acceptable performance for its price. We do lo...
Available in 120GB, 240GB and 480GB capacities, Good sequential and random read and write performance, Performs equally well with compressible and incompressible data, SATA 6Gb/s interface, Toggle Mode MLC NAND flash, Large DRAM cache, Supports TRIM and i
Random write performance at low queue depths could be better, Does not support DEVSLP, Does not support TCG Opal or eDrive encryption
OCZ's ARC 100 SSD is an excellent choice for the cost-conscious consumer looking to upgrade their storage to a faster or higher capacity solution. Powered by the same Indilinx-infused Barefoot 3 M10 controller as the Vertex 460, the ARC 100 uses Toshiba's...

OCZ returning to the mainstream segment is an interesting development to say the least, and its importance should not be underestimated. One needs to keep in mind that OCZ did not drop out of the this particular segment due to their products lacking per...

The ARC 100 provides what I expected it to do, which is its strength and weakness. The Barefoot 3 platform does provide excellent performance consistency and it has proven to be reliable over the last two years, but the performance in lighter workloads is...
