OCZ Vertex Turbo (120GB)

50% of the reviews on Amazon.com give this product a positive rating.

The Toshiba controller gives the venerable Vertex a tough competitor, but it isn't quite as well suited for smaller file IOPs as the Vertex is. On the flipside, the Toshiba-based SSDNow V+ does offer higher sequential file writes with large file sizes,...

After reviewing the 60GB version of the OCZ Vertex Turbo we knew it held its own but couldn't quite match the performance results of the big dog 120/128GB competitors, and as a result we were very eager to get our hand on its Turbo sibling, especially...

fast, cool

After spending a day loading windows 7 and many applications, I let it burn in for 3 days. When I started to use it, the system locked up and I got the BSD. Then, it could not bee seen by any machine I attached it to

Fast

Write speeds weren't nearly as high as they advertised in my laptop

TRIM, Hardware Garbage Collection. No need to run GC software at regular intervals. This drive won't slow down on you over time like cheaper SSD's. The OCZ site mentions idling the PC for a few hours every few weeks as that is when the hardware GC...

None, worth every penney it cost

Performance is good, but not great. I get in Windows 7 faster and can use it instead of waiting 5 mins for it to dink around with it's startup. If the below con of it taking forever to delete a file doesn't clear up, I foresee sending it back

I don't think it's worth an upgrade for the price. When I delete files it takes forever, but that can be something I could be missing since I haven't used it a whole lot since I got it

this is an excellent drive. ran a few benchmarks, didnt get quite the advertised speed, but i did not update the firmware, and i am not really sure which one it is at... cause i am lazy... but any ways, wish i had a picture at time of posting ; but my...

when i first got my drive, lasted about 20 minutes, rma'ed no problem... not really interested in messing with the firmware out of sheer laziness... my speeds are soo much faster already doesn't matter ; i should probably take off an egg for the...

Fast, low energy

Warranty listed as being lifetime limited. Hopefully by the time you read this it'll be fixed. I bought it in part because of this warranty (not unlike warranty on RAM, the other solid state memory white meat)

I have 2 - OCZ Vertex Turbo's, running in RAID 0. Great performance

Rebate model is the worst ; OCZ uses a 3rd Party Vendor to handle their rebates ; Literally takes 4 months to get your rebate, then you will find out, it is not a check, but a Visa Gift Card ; This whole rebate idea to trick consumers into thinking...
