OCZ Storage Solutions Vector 180

Bought 2 of them so far and I am impressed with how well they work! Wish I had bought more when the price was right.

I would give this thing 5 stars any day of the week. Reason for the 4 stars? The price on this drive is expensive. Sometimes hard to find one to buy, too. With other drives priced now at $109 with the same 480 GIG capacity, it's really priced high at...

Apparently unreliable

I got this on sale for $270 about 6 months ago and it's given me nothing but smooth performance, short load times and great frame rates with all games (my build is a 4790k+980Ti, can get 60 fps at 1440 in CS:GO, Path of Exlile, Paragon, etc.)

No complaints after 6 months.

It boots up Windows 10 in less than 20 seconds which is exactly the reason I got it. It is much quieter than the 1TB Western Digital drive in my last rig I built. In fact, the fans on the case are about the only way I know the computer is starting up.

None so far.

Solid built - all metal case. Outstanding sequential and random read/write performance. Highest quality Toshiba NAND combined with proven Barefoot 3 controller. 5 year - 50 GB/day endurance with 2,300,000 hours MTBF. This thing wreaks quality and...

Good packaging, nice and simple. Drive looks cool. This is my third OCZ SSD and the first one that I have is still working well. OCZ Barefoot Controller is known to be a very decent controller and looks to know be a proprietary Toshiba part. I am going...

I honestly can't think of any cons for this drive. The price is excellent as is the ample storage. A drive like this will last most people a LONG time and 960GB is a great size!

OCZ's Vector 180 is their flagship SSD offering featuring Toshiba 19nm 128Gbit MLC NAND and the faster binned M00 397MHz controller. Fit and finish is nice and standard with their other offerings, only the color scheme changes, same 7mm z-height. Bench...

Controller PCB does not include indents for SATAIII cables to snap in securely. This has become a standard protocol for desktop drives for years. Cables are very snug and should remain in place but it should have been included. Idle @ 1 watt, no...

-seemed like best all around performance per $, which is what I was looking for knock on wood, seems quite reliable -just as fast as my 850 evo, or so it seems, afaik that's what matters

-none so far

Nice retail packaging, nice color scheme… But the more important stuff below: It’s an excellent SSD. (Discrepancies will be in the other thoughts section) On first look of the Vector 180 series, the first things I compare are the read, and write...

Price, I can’t find the justification, for the consumer level to go from 64 to 104. The slightly higher price point to cover the newer implemented (assumed newer) technologies such as the Barefoot 3 Controller, and NAND flash management… I’ll just say...
