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
After years of begging, OCZ has finally delivered much of what we've wanted in an SSD: low write amplification and very good random/sequential write performance. It could use a more aggressive real-time garbage collection algorithm but running an OS with...
The all new Vertex 4 series seems to be a strong basis and leaves me with thirst for some more. Realistically for those on Vertex 3 or for that matter any modern slash proper SATA3 based SSD -- you'll hardly miss out on anything. If anything the Vertex 4...
OCZ has been one of the most aggressive SSD makers when it comes to rolling out drives based on new controller technology, and the Vertex 4 fits nicely with that tendency. Not even six months after the Octane gave us our first taste of Indilinx's Everest...

You owned the original Vertex drive and now that the Indilinx controller has returned to power the fourth generation Vertex backed with impressive performance numbers, your will to resist the upgrade as been thwarted by both the attractive price poin...

Fast overall. Balances performance well regardless of data compression. Covered by five-year warranty.
Inconsistent performances between workloads, activity types
OCZ?s latest refresh of its Vertex line of solid-state drives addresses some crucial issues, but the changes won?t make it the ideal SSD for everyone....
5-Year Warranty, Competitive Pricing, Great Random Access Performance
Relatively Low Sequential Transfers, Not Clearly Faster than Vertex 3
To test sequential reads (and writes) we also did some real-world file copy tests using a 5.7GB compressed file and timed the results. As you'd expect looking back at the Vertex 4's write performance, it came in with the best write speeds. The Vertex 4's...
Silky smooth operation as a system drive, Excellent sequential reading and writing performance, Outstanding 4K random I/O performance at low and high queue depths, SATA 6Gbps support, TRIM support under Windows 7, Ultra fast access times, Completely
Nothing to mention

No performance drop with incompressible data, Even steady-state speeds, Best random 4K performance, Performance scales with capacity
Didn't excel in our real-world benchmarks, Client mixed-workloads could be better
The Vertex 4 highlights OCZ's commitment to building a deep IP portfolio to further enhance their SSD offerings. As a whole, we found the Vertex 4 to be a reliable performer, distinguishing itself in random 4K performance. Additionally, the Vertex 4 doesn...
