Flash Media / 2.5" Solid State Drives / SATA II / SLC / Enterprise Series OCZ Vertex EX 2.5” Solid State Drives are designed to meet the stringent demands of server environments and enterprise applications. These new premium offerings are the pinnacle storage option excelling in performance, reliability, and power consumption that offer professionals and enthusiasts an unparalleled computing experience. Offering a server-class storage upgrade from traditional hard disc drives, OCZ Vertex EX SSDs have a compact form factor and no moving parts resulting in a quiet storage solution with significantly higher performance. For crowded server environments, the OCZ Vertex EX SSDs offer space and cost-savings with a compact form factor that use significantly less power thanks to the benefits of high-quality flash-based storage. OCZ Vertex EX drives feature a durable yet lightweight alloy housing, and because OCZ SSDs have no moving parts, the drives are more rugged than traditional hard drives. Designed for ultimate reliability, Vertex Series SSDs have an excellent 1.5 million hour mean time before failure (MTBF) ensuring reliability over the long term. All Vertex EX Series SSDs come backed a leading three year warranty and OCZ’s legendary service and support, giving you added peace of mind for your high performance investment. IMPORTANT NOTE: Solid State Drives DO NOT require defragmentation. It may decrease the lifespan of the drive. IMPORTANT NOTE: To continually improve and optimize the Vertex EX SSD for the latest platforms OCZ will constantly release new firmware updates. *Consumers may see a discrepancy between reported capacity and actual capacity; the storage industry standard is to display capacity in decimal. However, the operating system usually calculates capacity in binary format, causing traditional HDD and SSD to show a lower capacity in Windows. In the case of SSDs, some of the capacity is reserved for formatting and redundancy for wear leveling. These reserved areas on an SSD may occupy up to 5% of the drive’s storage capacity. On the Vertex EX Series the naming convention reflects this and the 60 is equivalent to the 64GB and 120 is equivalent to 128GB.

Benchmark Reviews
