Product Description

As the fourth generation of the legendary Vertex family, the Vertex 4 Series pushes storage performance to the max and redefines the modern day computing experience. Vertex 4 SSDs are innovatively engineered to deliver industry-leading file transfer rates and superior system responsiveness, all while providing a more durable, reliable, and energy efficient storage solution compared to traditional hard drives. Designed to take full advantage of the SATA III interface, the Vertex 4 unleashes ultimate productivity, gaming, and multimedia applications.

Up to 550 MB/s Sequential Reads Up to 85,000 Random Write IOPS Up to 120,000 Maximum IOPS Available in 64GB to 512GB Capacities Access Latency as low as 0.02ms Strong performance at lower queue depths     Mirroring real-world performance scenarios over a broad spectrum of consumer desktop and mobile applications, Vertex 4 SSDs are designed to provide a superior user experience and extreme performance over the other current solutions available on the market. With the cutting-edge Indilinx Everest 2 platform, Vertex 4 is optimized for consistent, high speeds with the complete spectrum of file types and sizes including both compressible and incompressible data for balanced performance like no other drive you've experienced.

Industry's highest IOPs performance up to 120,000 Incredible performance in workstation and heavy-duty environments with multiple data threads   No compression-related performance limitations Better performance with "real world" data streams of varying "compressibility" as well as fully incompressible data such as videos and multimedia files, encrypted data, archive files such as .ZIP files and software.   Indilinx InfusedTM Everest 2 platform Leading edge dual-ARM controller architecture enables faster performance like nothing else you've experienced.   Fast boot times and ultra-low latency Boot up in as little as 9 seconds, and industry-low latencies of .04 reads and .02 writes enable superior multitasking and flawless performance   Industry-leading 5 year warranty Backed by OCZ's renowned service for ultimate peace of mind.   Ndurance 2.0 Technology Advanced suite of NAND Flash management to increase durability and reliability to expand the NAND's lifespan

Faster Performance for Cost-Effectiveness SSDs have 100x greater throughput and instantaneous access times for quicker boot ups, faster file transfers, and overall snappier performance than hard drives.   Because many HDDs are needed to achieve the same performance, SSDs offer greater cost effectiveness for IOPS per dollar.   Greater Durability The non-mechanical design of NAND flash mounted to circuit boards are shock resistant up to 1500g, unlike HDDs with various moving parts.

Less Power, Silent Operation SSDs use significantly less wattage at peak load than hard drives, delivering longer battery life in notebooks, less power strain on system, and a cooler computing environment.   With no moving parts, SSDs run virtually silent in your notebook or PC case to eliminate distracting noises during gaming or entertainment.   For more information about SSDs vs. HDDs, SSD FAQ, and tutorials please visit the OCZ SSD Zone.
