When reviewing Solid State Drives it is very easy to find your head turned by gaudy numbers and snappy system response. Even a very poor performing drive is so comprehensively better than a hard drive that it's always difficult not to be impressed.Strange...
Having put the Vertex 2 to the test, I was amazed to see its outstanding overall performance. The write speeds were especially impressive when compared to drives we have tested in the past. Although their Agility series is known for its mid-range prici...
Abstract: With the size of pages and blocks of NAND increasing on these new chips, the controllers that use them will be aiming to make up for the losses in speed for smaller accesses that are inherent in these changes. Moreover, while this flash memory doesn't seem affected and still has an endurance of 5000 write cycl..
The SandForce SF-1200 series controller found in the Vertex 2 and several other solid state drives is a completely different beast than the Indilinx drives we have grown comfortable with over the past several months. Starting with the internal archit...
Throughout our tests, Vertex 2 has proven to be the crème of the crop of the current SSD offer. We measured 280MB/s read and 250 MB/s write speeds, whereas 4K file writing tests saw Vertex 2 hit spectacular 46,654 IOPS. These results show that users...

The SandForce-powered OCZ Vertex 2 performed very well in our tests, handily beating our previous “fastest SSD”, the 160GB Intel X25-M. Compared to the other SandForce drives the Vertex two came in towards the bottom of the pack after the latest fir...
Not 3rdGeneration SATA6.0 compliant, Lacks integrated USB MiniB data connection, Some manufacturers offer fiveyear warranty
Although the rating and final score mentioned in this conclusion are made to be as objective as possible, please be advised that every author perceives these factors differently at various points in time. While we each do our best to ensure that all a...
Real world performance is very impressive, Custom firmware developed to optimize performance, 28% over-provisioning is good for performance and longevity, TRIM support, 3-year warranty, Competitively priced when compared to similar SandForce based SSDs, 50GB seems like a better capacity for a boot drive than many of the lower choices
Paying for capacity you won't use thanks to the generous over-provisioning, Looking only at select benchmarks may show disappointing results, High price per Gigabyte
Even though this was our first test of a solid state drive featuring a SandForce controller, our expectations were high given the buzz seen elsewhere on the web. OCZ Technology's 50GB Vertex 2 featuring an optimized SandForce SF-1200 controller did no...
