The editors liked
Excellent sequential data performance
TRIM support in RAID
Decent price
Excellent read and write speeds
Good value for mid-capacity drives
The SATA 3 (6Gbps) 2.5-inch OCZ Vertex 4 is fast and affordable and comes with a tray adapter so it can also fit in a 3.5-inch drive bay
Excellent allround performance
Price
5 year warranty shows confidence in design
Unbeatable write speeds. Great queued read speeds
The editors didn't like
Random 4K performance could be better
Reliability concerns
Firmware update introduced more bugs
Only higher capacity models are fastest
Lowest capacity 64GB model is comparatively slow
The OCZ Vertex 4 isn't thin enough to be used in an ultrabook
Excellent price and value, 5-year warranty, Much better sequential reads with firmware update
Weak write performance in some tests, Larger-capacity V4s offer same value, better performance
We also noticed that the percentage difference in the drive's read and write performance compared to the other SSDs we tested (or specifically to the other Vertex 4s) often varied greatly. For example, in a given benchmark test, the Vertex 4 would hit a...

If you're in the market for a computer upgrade, it's hard to not highly recommend the OCZ Vertex 4. Even if you have an old SATA-II computer like us, it still offers a gigantic improvement over any other drive we've used/tested. The real-life perform...
s As you can see, there is a LOT to digest when considering the performance of an SSD. It is NOT as simple as firing off a few canned benchmarks and posting screenshots. With that said, what have we learned about the Vertex 4 after over 40 hours of str...

Abstract: “My SSD is faster than your HDD”!!!Yeah, but where's the fun in that. How fast can she run compared to her counterpart?This is the first drive from OCZ that I am reviewing- and the first drive with Indilinx Controller.To summarize and in my words/observat...
Available in 64GB, 128GB, 256GB and 512GB capacities, Good sequential read and write speeds, Excellent random read and write performance, Performs equally well with compressible and incompressible data, Indilinx Ndurance 2.0 technology extends life of NAN
Requires firmware updates for best performance
OCZ had a very good run with SandForce but, if the Vertex 4 is any indication, the company's future is with Indilinx. Powered by the Indilinx infused Everest 2 controller, the Vertex 4 combines synchronous MLC NAND with a massive cache to deliver some...
The Vertex 4 is a market leader, at least in Performance mode. Writes are simply off the charts, blowing away the competition, especially with in-compressible data. Just look back up at the AS SSD results and be amazed again. There are drawbacks; the b...
Should an Indilinx driven Vertex series drive perform like previous generations? If it bears the name Vertex, it should. In fact when the Vertex moved from 34nm to 25nm OCZ allowed people to return then rev 2 Vertex 3 because it did not have the exact s...
The latest Vertex 4 firmware updates provide a noticeable boost in sequential write speed at 128GB and 256GB capacities, and the low queue depth sequential read performance issue has also been fixed. Our primary complaints from the initial review, at leas...
The notion that storage is limited for most users is not a comfortable thought. During the reign of second and third generation SSDs, most mainstream users were forced by budgetary reasons toward drives under 128GB capacity. SandForce based drives paire...
