Very Fast Drives

I have 2 of these drives configured in SATA III Raid 0. I've ran benchmark test on the PC and these drive out performs every drive in the bench mark list but a huge margin. Well worth what I paid for them and then some... Outstanding drive performance..

Great PC Upgrade

I have bought 10 of these for my company. I have replaced old 7200 RPM hard drives in laptops and used them in a new server build as well. All the laptop users have seen a big performance boost, and the server is running great with them as well in a RAID configuration. Just remember to disable the auto disk defrag in Windows 7 and 2008 Server R2.

Not all it is thought to be. Wish I would have done a lot more research.

Good SSD

This was my first SSD and is working fine. Should have bought the 480G though. The 240 wasn't enough to easy transfer my 1TB.

VERTEX 4 SSD

This is a great SSD. It's fast and reliable so far. But it lacks everything you need to transfer from your old disk to the SSD. So you end up paying more than the SSD alone. JC

Fast and Hot

The speed and performance of this SSD are just as can be expected from OCZ, just make sure that you have the TRIM capabilities enabled in your OS. Whats more, the drive does get quite hot, which is a bit uncharacteristic for an SSD. The annoying part is that the SMART table lacks a temperature reading...

never buy OCZ

OCZ reduces the quality of NAND when the price reduces. They are not honest, do not buy OCZ. You can easily find some events about OCZ from google. I returned my vertex 4 after I knew what they have done. YOu can choose intel, M4, samsung or plextor instead.

SSD fails

It's lightning fast, but it failed after a little more than just one month's use. Now I feel that this is not as reliable as a traditional hard-drive. I will use the warranty and get a replacement and see if it will get better
