The Toshiba OCZ VX500 is a bit of a mixed bag. I was a little disappointed with the move to a cheaper sheet metal casing from the machined cases of past OCZ drives. They did however still manage to make the design look good while keeping costs and wei...
Mounting screws would have been nice to see in the package, Final Thoughts, Toshiba continues to impress us with their recent lineup! We definitely look forward to testing their future products and delivering the good news to you. The Toshiba OCZ VX500 p
Toshiba continues to impress us with their recent lineup! We definitely look forward to testing their future products and delivering the good news to you. The Toshiba OCZ VX500 performs beyond expectations and carries that certain quality and performance...
A quick Google search of the term SSD these days will you a flood of results. However, not all SSDs are made the same. Yes, it's true that most SATA SSDs will perform very similar to one another. This is mainly because we have all but saturated, and basic...
Available in 128GB, 256GB, 512GB and 1TB capacities, Equipped with MLC NAND flash, Good sequential read and write speeds under most conditions, SATA 6Gb/s interface, Ultra-slim form factor, Works with Toshiba's SSD Utility software, DEVSLP power mode, Sup
Mediocre random write performance, Write speed drops when SLC cache is full, Does not support hardware based encryption
Toshiba's OCZ VX500 SSD is a great choice for the mainstream consumer looking to take their everyday computing to the next level. This mid-range SSD combines Toshiba's TC358790 controller with their 15nm MLC NAND to provide an excellent balance of perform...
Overall, the latest from Toshiba and OCZ in the VX500 performs very well. We saw great performance in reads across many of the tests and writes were, in most cases, much faster than the others from Toshiba and steadily knocking on the door of the Samsun...

592TB TDW endurance (324GB/day over 5 years), Acronis True Image HD license included, MLC NAND performance, Great warranty program
Plain Aesthetics, 4K performance was a bit lacking
Encountering a new MLC-based NAND SATA SSD these days is becoming a rare thing, as most manufacturers have been focusing on high-capacity, low-cost TLC NAND offerings. While the performance and enthusiast sector continues to amaze us with new PCIe NVM...
Good overall performance, Weighs less than two ounces
Slow for MLC when reading our 20GB group of small files and folders
Though we weren't overly impressed with the VX500's small-file read performance, its overall and sustained performance still easily exceeds that of TLC drives. When comparing it against other MLC drives, consider the overall performance and cost. If y...
Great overall performance, Uses more reliable MLC NAND, SLC caching seems to be implemented better than TLC-based drives, 5-year OCZ Advanced Warranty, OCZ SSD Utility Software
SLC caching will eventually slow the drive down
The OCZ VX500 from Toshiba is a strong contender in the mainstream sector of solid state drive offerings. We have seen many companies use 3D NAND or the less expensive TLC NAND for their drives in this sector, so it is interesting to see Toshiba go with M...
Standout warranty and endurance, Well-designed software utility
Merely average speed in most tests, Not aggressively priced, given performance
The VX500 is a decent SSD with high endurance ratings and a premium warranty. But it doesn't have the incrementally faster speed or rock-bottom pricing needed to prevail in the crowded market for SATA SSDs. Read More…...
Metal case, screwtogether construction, Acronis True Image bundled, 5year warranty
Doesn't convincingly outperform less expensive drives
