2.5" Solid State Drives / SATA II / MLC / Mainstream Series
The OCZ Vertex Series is the industry-leading flash-based storage solution, delivering the performance and reliability of SSDs at a lower price per gigabyte than other high speed offerings currently on the market. The OCZ Vertex Series is the result of all the latest breakthroughs in SSD technology, including the first model on the market to use the Indilinx Barefoot controller, blazing read/write speeds, and 64MB of onboard cache.
All Vertex Series SSDs come backed a leading three
year warranty and OCZ's legendary service and support,
giving you added peace of mind for your high performance
investment. Additionally, enthusiasts are put at the
forefront of cutting edge technology with the available
firmware updates and active online SSD community.
Perfect for notebooks and desktops alike, the Vertex
Series is ideal for energy-efficient mobile computing to
extend battery life, increase the speed of access time,
and provide a durable alternative to conventional hard
disc drives with superior shock resistance. High
capacities and low power consuming NAND flash technology
provide the necessary performance and battery life
boosts generated by the proliferation of mobile gaming
and new ultra-thin laptops.
The OCZ Vertex drives feature a durable yet lightweight
alloy housing, and because OCZ SSDs have no moving
parts, the drives are more rugged than traditional hard
drives. Designed for ultimate reliability, Vertex Series
SSDs have an excellent 1.5 million hour mean time before
failure (MTBF) ensuring reliability over the long term.
Important SSD notes:
Solid State Drives DO NOT require defragmentation. It
may decrease the lifespan of the drive.
Consumers may see a discrepancy between reported
capacity and actual capacity; the storage industry
standard is to display capacity in decimal. However, the
operating system usually calculates capacity in binary
format, causing traditional HDD and SSD to show a lower
capacity in Windows. In the case of SSDs, some of the
capacity is reserved for formatting and redundancy for
wear leveling. These reserved areas on an SSD may occupy
up to 5% of the drive’s storage capacity. In OCZ’s
Indilinx-based SSDs, the naming convention reflects this
and the 30 is equivalent to the 32GB, the 60 is
equivalent to 64GB, and so on.
Rated speeds may vary slightly depending on the
benchmark used, drivers, windows version, bios version
and file size. We recommend using ATTO, IOMeter, and PC
Mark Vantage for benchmarking SSDs.
To continually improve and optimize our SSDs, OCZ will
release new firmware updates. Please visit our
