I think that the OCZ Vertex 4 is a solid state drive that caters more to the users of this site versus others out there. What we can see is good sequential speeds (much better with the v1.4 firmware might I add) and great high-queue depth random I/O. Afte...
The Vertex 4 SSD showcased mixed results in the synthetic portion of our benchmarking, but the real world results were just phenomenal. This meant the Vertex 4 easily beat all the other tested drives for Windows 7 boot/shutdown times and loading into game...
OCZ Vertex 4 is undoubtedly a momentous, even epoch-making product for the SSD market at large. And it is not only about its special properties or fantastic performance. The most important thing is that OCZ has joined the club of full-cycle SSD makers...

Excellent Random PerformanceThe appearance of OCZ Vertex 4 SSD means the birth of a new controller (a new firmware included as well), Everest 2(or maybe Marvell 88SS9187) has abundant function, it supports on-chip RAID functionality, advanced ECC sche...
Indilinx Everest 2 controller has great potential, OCZ has proven track record of postrelease performance upgrades via firmware support, 5Year Warranty,
Shipping firmware is very stable and compatible but lacks truly competitive performance (v1.30).
I've entitled this section 'Thoughts' because I won't consider the Vertex 4 'Final' until it sees a second shipping firmware revision. The Vertex 4 is an exciting product with a very capable Indilinx controller, and while I can understand OCZs desire ...
