The drive's speed and durability rating trail behind high-end SSDs on the market. There are no data security or performance enhancement features
Well at the end of the day the OCZ Vector 180 is an interesting drive. Given the performance I have seen with older OCZ drives I went into this with high expectations. Sadly in a lot of the synthetic benchmarks the numbers weren't what I was expecting...
Available in 120GB, 240GB, 480GB and 960GB capacities, Endurance rated at 50GB/day for 5 years, Good sequential and random read and write performance, Performs equally well with compressible and incompressible data, SATA 6Gb/s interface, Toggle Mode MLC N
Random write performance at low queue depths could be better, Does not support DEVSLP, Does not support TCG Opal or eDrive encryption
Like OCZ's previous Vector series SSDs, the Vector 180 is a great choice for the gamer or enthusiast looking for a drive that provides exceptional performance, endurance, and reliability. Designed to power today's high-end consumer systems, the Vector 180...

The OCZ Vector 180 SSD promises to deliver enthusiast class performance and it does just that. Throughout our testing read and write speeds were consistent even though it was slightly behind the HyperX Savage, but only slightly. As for the drive itself...
Good performance, Power Failure Management Plus feature, ShieldPlus 5-year warranty, Looks great
Does not support DevSleep or low power states, so higher power consumption
Talking about ease of mind this drive also comes with OCZ's ShieldPlus 5-year warranty. This means with no proof of purchase OCZ will ship you a new drive up front and cover the shipping on it as well. Of course this is only available to US and EU custome...

Abstract: It's been quite some time since our last SSD roundup and we hadn't seen much need for one until recently. SSD technology grew stale after saturating the SATA 6Gb/s bus, bringing mostly minor improvements in recent memory and making up for it with price cu...
Wrapping things up in this review, we can see that the Vector is a solid performer, but not at the top for a lot of the benchmarks we run. This drive though is no slouch. To be fair, most users would be hard pressed to know it tested a bit slower withou...
Well Priced, High Quality Components, Sturdy construction
Toshiba has worked hard at reviving the OCZ brand and it shows. The construction of the OCZ Vector 180 is impressive. Toshiba has used their high quality components throughout and will no doubt give years of reliable service. The housing's cast and stampe...
When OCZ first unveiled the Vector series, it was almost a make it or break it type of product that was designed to help keep the company afloat. After getting hit hard in the reputation department with the SandForce fiasco a couple years prior and execut...

From a technological standpoint, the Vector 180 is the most interesting Barefoot 3 based SSD that we have seen in a while. With partial power loss protection (PFM+) and a new 960GB capacity, it's able to bring something new to the now two and a half year...

For the OCZ Vector 180 480 GB drive (1 GB byte = 1,000,000,000 bytes), when formatted in Windows offers up 447 GiB (1 GiB = 1,073,741,824 bytes) available the user which means it has a fair amount of spare area set aside for maintenance and drive enduranc...
