OCZ Vertex 2 OCZSSD2-2VTXE60G 2.5" MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)

Comment:
Quickly 60G is not sufficient but correct now its all you can get for the income. You need to setup the ssd to run windows, and have other programs and games installed on a tricky drive. Not as uncomplicated as it sounds simply because as soon as you set up windows on the ssd, BY DEFAULT, the doc files, music files, ect, will also be installed on the ssd and that fills up the ssd rapid.There is a function about, but if your not "PC sensible" then its a small tricky.

Much quicker boot time compared to my HDD :). The truth that it is also quiet is a plus. Difficult to function with if you don't know how to work with SSDs. Sometimes the OCZ Toolbox did not want to cooperate but I feel that was user error on my element. Putting in Win7 Pro 64-Bit seemed like it took the regular amount of time it took on an HDD. Understanding how an SSD operates might be more than whelming for some but after you know, the fear is gone. I did registry editing so that the SSD only holds the OS + some drivers and such and my HDD holds programs :D. One issue I must advise, do not tweak with the SSD unless you know what you're executing(Editing page swapping and so on...). It may well result in failures or errors on your Pc.

Drive performs great. NewEgg attempted on my behalf to get OCZ to honor the rebate. KUDOs for New Egg! I bought this in November as a gift. It is March nevertheless no rebate. If you obtain any of OCZ's drives expecting the stated rebate... Good LUCK! Attempted for more than 2 hours to get in touch with a individual at OCZ and lastly got a voice mail! I left a message, no get in touch with back. Certain won't do this again. This encounter has cost me ษ.00. In this economic climate, I hope to save an individual else from the identical mistake I created.

Rapidly when it is functioning. Stopped functioning following two months. Newegg did not want to replace/refund and referred to the manufacturer, which to be fair, is steady with their return policy. If you obtain this SSD, make confident you're backing up. I would not advocate istalling the OS on this SSD. Manufacturer Response:Hello, we are really sorry for the troubles.

Bought two of these, one particular for laptop and 1 for desktop. Each run phenomenally properly, with speeds as dictated on the site. My set up in my alienware laptop doesn't run fairly as fast as my desktop set up. Haven't figured out the source of the comparative slowness, despite the fact that it really isn't slow, just not as quick. Will repost if I find the reason.

Very Quick, Reputable, OCZ Help, 32nm Procedure, Sandforce Controller. In RAID0 these drives are incredible, the speeds realized are astounding. New 25nm Method drives utilizing same SKU I had ordered two of these Vertex2 60gb drives to set up in a RAID0 Stripe. I received a single drive with 25nm NAND and one drive with 32nm NAND. That is NOT compatible with regard to a RAID array. I contacted OCZ support on the forum and I was taken care of in every way I could ask (except for my request for a No cost OCZ Colossus LT 1TB Drive; perhaps subsequent time : ) OCZ took care of shipping in each directions and I ended up with two 32nm 60gb Vertex2 drives. I would say that OCZ ought to have been candid about what amounts to a NEW Product. They wouldn't have expense themselves both income and shoppers; a number of really angry people voiced their displeasure with OCZ. I was really displeased but I am OK with how items "panned out".

Newegg rocks! You possibly boot quick, but that's it. Then you're stuck with an unreliable engineering that's way too smaller in storage capacity for any decent system install. Worst write speed of all my drives: 34 MB/s for an Average FILE SIZE (Crystal): Don't be fooled by tricky math. Photoshop scratch drive customers: Don't waste your funds, your process will freeze using this as a cache drive: get more ram! Reliability: I would by no means use this SSD as a most important process drive, way also a lot of failures here on Newegg following a just a couple of months. SSD will be wonderful in about two-3 years. Get if you wanna join the "beta testing group" go ahead, obtain one particular and get your screwdrivers prepared in 3 months ;-) Manufacturer Response:Hello, an overwhelming majority of our clients never have any difficulties with their drives.

Low price.Quick. My function pc (XP) Boot time (loads bunch of stuff) reduced five times. Was genuinely satisfied even devoid of trim support. Just died these days. BIOS doesn't see it any far more :( Kept my old HD in the technique with all the programs installed and My Documents on the network drive, so it took me just to alter the boot sequence in BIOS.I was lucky - I didn't set up new programs since SSD time.Never!!!! rely on SSD drive to retailer your data.

Comment:
Fast, Light, Very, Effortlessly holds OS which includes most utilized applications. with every little thing installed, 20 second to completely boot, from post. These days I am going raid two of them, let you know then. Like something, It constantly could be cheaper! Becoming a user whos' first difficult drive was a 20meg, yes meg! But it only expense 贄+.i am amazed, again!

Quickly whilst it worked - Died soon after 3 months (trying to RMA by way of OCZ now)- Did not receive rebate- Quite restricted RMA by means of Newegg Make positive to backup, because there's tiny warning when a SSD dies.Don't bet on the rebate (in case there is one particular readily available).

Very quick when it worked. Installed Windows 7 Household 64bit and a handful of other misc programs. 7.9 windows7 index score. Lasted a week. I was browsing the web and my pc did a random reboot, and upon loading the drive was no longer discovered in BIOS. After trying various SATA cables, SATA ports, PSU cables, different BIOS settings and unhooking the drive and letting it sit overnight, it was RMA'd.I received my new drive virtually 2 weeks later (shipped from Taiwan, seriously?) right after paying to ship it by UPS 2day.. don't see why I had to spend shipping to send back their faulty item. I hooked the drive in and BIOS instantly located it during boot up. When I got to the pick your install place for windows 7, the drive was not on the list. Immediately after going by the method of trying to get the drive to show up in BIOS again, I went back to the OCZ forums for help. Which is where I now am. I have not received a response to my post, even although I bump it and it has been sitting there for various days. Extremely disappointed. :( :( :(Great when it worked, slow (or none) support when it doesn't.

Its quickly! Installed windows 7 64 bit in 15mins and access applications like Photoshop in seconds. I wish it was much easier to set the default windows installation directory to a unique drive. This drive fills up real rapidly so set up all ur applications in one more hard drive! I'd obtain an additional a single with a higher amount of space if I had the funds...

None I purchased two of these for SSDs RAID boot configuration. 1 of the drives died fully right after 1 month. The drive could no longer be located as an SATA device. Under the newegg.com assessment guidelines no-1 can sumbit "Criticism of Newegg.com's service or the service of our operations partners. (FedEx, UPS, Paypal, and so forth.) " . Figure that one particular out for yourselef. My only selection is to deal with the manufacturer OCZ and in the meantime have no machine.

Good SSD, this was a upgrade from a Toshiba 3.0GB 500 HDD and wow is this that significantly more rapidly. Faster load times, Much less fragmentation with files,30% longer battery life,less head output ( not that I observed ), completely silent. This drive is just ever so greater then a slandered laptop drive because of its fancy casing. So if your laptop has a mounting program then there could be some tiny troubles finding it in. Personally all I have is two rubber pads that sit on both sides of the drive that hold it in spot, even this created for problems. Laptop Perform Station:- Lenovo ThinkPad T610- i5 M540 2.55GHz- 4GB DDR3 (x2 2GB Remaxel)- 60GB OCZ-VERTEX2- Windows 7 Pro

OS installed really rapidly, and booted really speedily. Failed inside six hours of use.

Quite quickly drive, fastest one I have ever utilised. Value per gig. Cost is steadily going down, if you can't wait get a single now, if you can you will be pleased by the cost drop.

Comment:
Speed is awesome when OS is appropriately configured, firmware updates are basic (if u have a second computer system), seems tough, cool, and definitely silent 2.5" -> three.5" Mounting bracket doesn't have holes in the right place for some tough drive rails. U can not upgrade each and every firmware revision if ur main OS is running off of it. It is visibly quicker then the original vertex.

Comment:
Comparatively low-cost immediately after rebate, against other main brand. UNRELIABLE, low price could be the result in of the drive failure in 5 months. DO NOT USE THE DRIVE TO SAVE Data!!! The drive stopped every 10 minutes a month ago and then blue screen of dead. Rebuilt with Windows 7 Ultimate and it was working fine till now. The drive is totally DEAD, BIOS can not even find the drive any additional. Plug it into USB SATA docking and nevertheless dead ... Producer Response:Hello, we are extremely sorry for the problem.

Fast drive at the time of purchase but unrealiabilty of drive forces me to only use it in raid 1

Simple installation, TRIM support, fantastic form factor LOW Speed- at least 20% slower than the advertised speed.- No return? This is a False advertisement, but no refund??? Are you positive Newegg?

Quite rapidly, trustworthy drive.TRIM works excellent on Ubuntu (Linux). Absolutely nothing concrete that I can think of. Random file access time has gone up a bit.I have not upgraded to the newest firmware as of yet.
