superior durability compared to conventional hard drives.
Offering your system the incredible performance of flash-based technology,
The OCZ Vertex Series delivers the performance and reliability of SSDs at
less 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 new architecture and controller
design, blazing read/write speeds, and 64MB of onboard cache. OCZ
continues to place solid state technology within reach of the average
consumer, and delivers on the promise of SSDs as an alternative to
traditional hard drives in consumer targeted mobile applications.
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. With fast access and seek times combined with
excellent reliability, the OCZ Vertex Series SSDs are the answer for
consumers demanding this latest storage technology.
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 peace of mind over the long term.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Solid State Drives DO NOT require
defragmentation. It may decrease the lifespan of the drive.
IMPORTANT NOTE: To continually improve and optimize the Vertex SSD for the
latest platforms OCZ will constantly release new firmware updates.

*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. On the Vertex
Series the naming convention reflects this and the 30 is equivalent to
32GB, the 60 is equivalent to the 64GB and so on.
**Rated speeds are based on the Intel P45 chipset, speeds may vary
slightly dependent on the benchmark used, drivers, windows version, bios
version and file size. We recommend using ATTO and PC Mark Vantage for
benchmarking SSDs. | Important Note: Product information is drawn from suppliers and manufacturers.
