Excellent Random PerformanceThe appearance of OCZ Vertex 4 SSD means the birth of a new controller (a new firmware included as well), Everest 2(or maybe Marvell 88SS9187) has abundant function, it supports on-chip RAID functionality, advanced ECC sche...
Indilinx Everest 2 controller has great potential, OCZ has proven track record of postrelease performance upgrades via firmware support, 5Year Warranty,
Shipping firmware is very stable and compatible but lacks truly competitive performance (v1.30).
I've entitled this section 'Thoughts' because I won't consider the Vertex 4 'Final' until it sees a second shipping firmware revision. The Vertex 4 is an exciting product with a very capable Indilinx controller, and while I can understand OCZs desire ...
After years of begging, OCZ has finally delivered much of what we've wanted in an SSD: low write amplification and very good random/sequential write performance. It could use a more aggressive real-time garbage collection algorithm but running an OS with...
The all new Vertex 4 series seems to be a strong basis and leaves me with thirst for some more. Realistically for those on Vertex 3 or for that matter any modern slash proper SATA3 based SSD -- you'll hardly miss out on anything. If anything the Vertex 4...

Fast overall. Balances performance well regardless of data compression. Covered by five-year warranty.
Inconsistent performances between workloads, activity types
OCZ?s latest refresh of its Vertex line of solid-state drives addresses some crucial issues, but the changes won?t make it the ideal SSD for everyone....
5-Year Warranty, Competitive Pricing, Great Random Access Performance
Relatively Low Sequential Transfers, Not Clearly Faster than Vertex 3
To test sequential reads (and writes) we also did some real-world file copy tests using a 5.7GB compressed file and timed the results. As you'd expect looking back at the Vertex 4's write performance, it came in with the best write speeds. The Vertex 4's...
