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
From a company that previously gave us Vector's, Vertex's and was occasionally high on Octane for Agility we now have the ARC 100, an SSD that sounds like something that would be used to fuse metals together. As a welder the OCZ ARC 100 is pretty useless,...

You can consider yourself lucky if you purchased an SSD last year. Since then not a lot has happened when it comes to the performance, while the prices have gone up. However, using a hard drive as boot disk is not necessary at all - there are more than en...
According to our tests, the Samsung SM951 (NVMe) is the fastest SSD available. It is even faster than the 950 Pro, while it is a lot cheaper as well. Bear in mind that you miss out on official Samsung support in the form of warranty, Magician and firmware...
Totalling up the price reveals some interesting insights as to whether the Genome II is good value in terms of raw components. Its 360mm radaitor AIO coolers - the Captain 360 and Captain 360 EX retail for around £110 and decent PCI-E riser cables can cos...
First of all the best middleclass SSD that you can use. Based on the performance and the good price the Sandisk Ultra II 480GB is the best choice. The Sandisk performs nearly as well as the fastest SATA600-drives in the test, but for a much lower price...

OCZ ARC 100 240 GB reviewThe OCZ company appeared early in the history of SSDs as a specialist in performance drives, and still makes high-specification drives under its new owners Toshiba. But the ARC 100 is unashamedly a value-focused solid-state drive...

The build quality of the ARC100 especially the metal casing make for a quality feel overall. In the tests performed the speed of the drive whilst not amazingly fast, are respectable from a value orientated drive.One of the main improvements over past OCZ...
Solid performance, Remains good at steady state, Shield Plus warranty, Competitively priced
Limited encryption support, No cloning software bundle
OCZ Storage Solutions is understandably keen to shake off the spectre of the older company whose record in reliability left much to be desired.Now wholly owned by Toshiba and using the company's A19 MLC NAND across the range of consumer drives, OCZ ap...
Faster read speeds available elsewhere, Inconsistent small file performance
The OCZ Arc proved more balanced than rivals in some tests, but it's not able to match the raw read speeds of most of the competition – and its small file tests aren't as impressive, either. It'll be a decent option if the price drops, but right now its ...
Eclipsed by other SSDs in most tests, Not as fast as other affordable drives, No accessories in package
While the ARC 100 isn't the best performing drive money can buy, it's one of the most affordable. In real-world use, such as application loading times and system boot times, you'll only find slim differences between this drive and one that costs a lot mor...
