OCZ Vertex 2 EX Series SATA II 2.5" SSD
2.5" Solid State Drives / Vertex 2 EX / SATA II / SLC / Enterprise Series / 50GB-200GB
OCZ Vertex 2 EX Solid State Drives are designed to provide the best of both worlds - exceptional performance with the latest cutting-edge technology paired with unparalleled reliability. Ideal for rigorous applications and workloads in an enterprise environment, the Vertex 2 EX uses Single-Level Cell (SLC) memory, which has ten times the program/erase (P/E) cycles than MLC-based drives, and features superb 4k random writes up to 50,000 IOPS to give a performance edge over the previous generation.
With an emphasis on endurance, the Vertex 2 EX is an enterprise-class solution that utilizes a built-in supercapacitor that acts as a temporary power backup in the event of sudden power loss, enabling the drive to complete its task, ensuring no data loss. Furthermore, Vertex 2 EX increases the longevity of NAND flash memory with intelligent block management and wear-leveling to extend endurance and overall reliability of the device. This feature automatically stores data in an AES-128 encrypted format to prevent data extraction to maintain security of confidential information, a necessity in an enterprise environment.
Vertex 2 EX has an ultra-reliable 10 million hour MTBF and comes backed by a three-year warranty.
Important SSD notes:
Solid State Drives DO NOT require defragmentation. It may decrease the lifespan of the drive.
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.
Rated speeds may vary slightly depending on the benchmark used, drivers, windows version, bios version and file size. We recommend using ATTO, IOMeter, and PC Mark Vantage for benchmarking SSDs and to achieve maximum rated specifications.
