OCZ has refreshed its Vector drive with the new Vector 180. The new drive uses OCZ's in-house developed Barefoot 3 controller and now features power loss protection. We check out this new drive to see if it's a worthy alternative to kingpins from...

Great for a system drive or for critical data.

incompressible and compressible performance is fantastic.

intense price competition from the likes of Samsung.

Kitguru says: The Vector 180 should be making a final shortlist based on the performance results alone. The latest Barefoot 3 controller is very capable.
