OCZ Vertex 2 60GB SSD Review

Author: Jim Manis

SSDs have really come a long way over their short existence.  From the meager 60MB/s reads to the 285MB/s read bandwidth found on the Vertex 2 you can see how the new Sandforce 1200 controller has improved SSD performance over SATA3. I can only imagine what the SATA6 standard will bring in terms of performance in the next couple years.

If you waited for right time to jump on the SSD bandwagon, waiting for prices and speeds to improve has finally paid off. Today's OCZ Vertex 2 series has made it affordable for anyone to really boost their day to day computer experience. 

Now for the ever popular list of Good things and Bad things.

Extreme performance
RAID and TRIM support.
Sandforce controller
2 million hours MTBF
3 yr warranty

Price per GB (true for any SSD).

We would like to thank OCZ for making this review possible.
