OCZ Vertex 2 OCZSSD2-2VTXE120G 2.5" MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)

Comment:
its an ssd. I did enough research to get two of the very best ssd's in raid . I bought the ssd's that Tomshardware.com ranked really higher and OCZ switched the technologies to a weaker more cost effecient manufacturing process (thus, more income in their pockets at my expense without me realizing!) without having altering the name. E series employed to be ranked higher and I wound up with a reduced end solution! Dont offer your apology and help to remedy the scenario "OCZ jokesupport." My OS is on these 2 drives and I am carried out modding this pc and switching out components. Rather, just eat your bad assessment and take it like a firm that isn't trusted by me! below this critique need to be an OCZ represenitive trying to clear their name and appear like they take care of their customers in order to impress you so that you dont assume they are a lousy firm!

Bought 2. I died soon after 2 weeks. Then I didn't get the rebate simply because the 1 I RMA'd was outside of the rebate period even even though my original acquire was in the course of a valid time. Then I wrote their help and incorporated all my info and they wrote back and told me I ought to contact. I gave up. All that for a measly 10 dollar visa card, not even a actual rebate. See above Manufacturer Response:Hello, we aplogize for the difficulties. Please email rebates@ocztechnology.com and include things like full name, address, product, and place and date of acquire. We will be pleased to offer you you a filing extension, so you could receive your rebate. Thank you

Rapid Truly quickly Stupid rapid essentially sector loss is truly higher im only receiving 103gb on a 120 GB drive this issue is able to load windows 7 pro in 5sec so i cant seriously complain there only explanation it lost one particular egg is since it sucks to have a 120gb drive with only 107gb usable

Comment:
this makes task rediculous rapid. I propose this. also load and shut down occasions are less then ten seconds with the hardware i got. the capacity is not alot and the price is high priced but worth it. of course there will be bigger storage later so the expense should go down

Quicker than Siliconedge blue 128GBSufficient Space for all applications and gamesOften the initial one particular to finish loading a game Not sufficient space for movies, but I have a additional hard drive for that.The included drive bay doesn't come with nails and my chassis doesn't have nails that will match via the drive bay Some individuals say that an SSD isn't worth it, due to the fact having particular drives in raid is more quickly than an SSD, but going on raid will make your drive fail faster. An SSD has fantastic speeds and has .01ms for rapidly boot instances. It also consumes less energy and requires much less space.

Easy to set up and remove. Quicker then Regular challenging drive Firmware update by means of slave drive is not a really great design and style. If you don't have two computer systems operating windows 7 your out of luck. When you get in touch with help, they essentially tell you its your dilemma and there not going to modify something. I will under no circumstances purchase a different a single from this business. firmware update by means of usb or bootable device would be a great notion, Intel did it

Comment:
Works. Quickly. Recognized by motherboard. Replaceable if you want to devote your time complaining and verifying which 1 you got. No problems so far. Didnt know about the 24nm concerns and company disclosure difficulties. Have not bothered to figure out which one i have.... Also late. But would have bought other brand had i recognized. Lots of failures reported here and elseware. Challenging to expand if model numbers dont matter. Would have preferred to return for a different item. But can only be exchanged. Even unopened?! My fault. Or ocz's fault actually. I will by no means trust it with information. But it can run my os quick till it fails. Will order a 320 or 510 to replace it ( at my price of course) for peace of thoughts and future raid growth.

This point is sweet!!! It boots up Ubuntu so quickly, that the gnome windows manager didn't have time to boot the graphics properly. A manual addition of a 2 sec pause during boot time fixed that problem. None, genuinely for me. Other men and women are speaking about the decrease in capacity from the earlier model. My Ubuntu sees this as 114 GB formatted beneath ext4. I'm genuinely not as well concerned about the size difference since I only bought this to home my Linux distro, and related applications for Physics research. My Physics information is all home on a 1 TB RAID 1 among two difficult drives. The SSD is only for operating applications and increasing the runtime speed. I don't ever strategy on obtaining far more than 114 GB of system files on this point because linux based systems is not hogs like Windows' are.

Good product! loads extremely fast havnt had any troubles at all i dont know that these other men and women are speaking about. its a tight fit with the bracket in my case but not a large deal at all. My case is a 922 HAF cooler master

It's pretty darn quick :) Genuinely made my laptop a lot faster. I replaced my hitachi 7k320, which is a single of the fastest laptop drives with this SSD, and saw a major boost. Significant complaint is that the lack of drive diagnostics software will make troubleshooting in the future somewhat tricky. Also, I query the safety of the onboard disk encryption as it uses the quite old and straightforward ATA drive password method to safeguard the drive. I actually like it, and if I had it to do more than again, I'd nevertheless choose this drive. It's so rapidly! And windows 7 likes SSD drives. It basically disabled my Intel FCM (flash cache module), since the SSD is faster! It recognizes it as a 'hybrid challenging disk' which enables windows to use it as a non volatile cache, fundamentally replacing my slower Intel FCM. It's wonderful because the swap file (page file) is on the SSD which once again seriously adds a Boost to the general speed of the computer. With my old drive, on battery it used to spin up every single time I clicked one thing, and spin down once again. With the SSD, there's no a lot more delay, and I get even better energy savings. My WD10TPVT 1TB two.five" drive in the second bay only spins up when I want one thing on it, otherwise my laptop is quite silent and cool now.

Drive is really quick with increases to windows efficiency scores of about 2. above a 7200rpm 320GB drive. Soon after about three weeks of it operating Windows 7 it abruptly stopped operating. BIOS would not recognize the drive and other systems didn't see the drive either. Going by means of RMA approach now to see if they can get me a greater drive.

Drives work great so far. Effortlessly outperforms standard tough drives I had in RAID. Rebates had been received and approved from OCZ. I bought these on the last day of January, and luckily they are not the slower version with 25nm chips. Boxes had the E in the solution version quantity which supplied a fantastic scare to me soon after reading about the functionality concerns with drives getting the newer 25nm chips. I originally purchased a pair to use in RAID, but following reading how RAIDing them wouldn't help standard use/performance substantially, I decided to put the second in my wife's desktop. Both drives are incredibly quickly as operating system drives compared even to my RAID drives which I now use for data storage. Most likely if I would have gotten the drives with the slower 25nm chips, I would have been disappointed.

Windows shuts down rapidly. * Slow compared to OLDER models.* only 107GB formatted - false advertising* Read speeds are OK but Writes could be far better.* OCZ Client service has went down hill. They want you to ship the drives back them and wait 4-six weeks just before acquiring replacements that have the appropriate NAND. Specs:*I bought 2 of these.* OCZ utilized to have top rated north support.*Stay away from these and get anything else. Manufacturer Response:Hello, we are incredibly sorry that you are upset. It is our goal to give the very best client service possible. Please contact our assistance manager at 鷘) 733-8400, ext 206. We will be happy to assist you and insure that you are satisfied.

- Lowered windows bootup occasions - fresh boot from SSD is comparable to resume from hibernation speed on my mechanical drive.- Windows Practical experience index went from five.9 on HD to 7.1 with SSD- Decreased application set up and load occasions. - Expensive $$/GB when compared with 'normal' harddrives (although it compares favorably against other SSD's) For optimal speed the SATA controller on the motherboard should help and be set to AHCI mode.Considering that my motherboard does /not/ support this mode, it does not run at its potential maximum speed.CrystalDiskMark shows 160MB/sec on contiguous study, 80MB/sec on contiguous write.4KB random study/writes are 40MB/sec, which is *much* quicker than any 'normal' harddrive.To optimize speed/storage, I ended up using this drive just for windows and applications, and continue to use a common 2TB HD for storing actual data.
