OCZ Vector 256 GB

W1zzard · Dec 27, 2012

The OCZ Vector SSD is based on a brand-new Indilinx Barefoot 3 controller that is a 100% in-house development by OCZ. We see outstanding steady state performance and excellent real-life results from this new drive that will strengthen OCZ's position in the SSD market.

Great review as always!

I would like to see how it compares to the 840 Pro

Awesome review, W1zzard!

After seeing this price, i actually got really interested. Previously, the SSD i was targeting for my build was the 256GB Vertex 4. Here in Brazil, the Vertex 4 costs R$740. With the taxes (60% of the product), the Vector would cost R$ 894... The difference is of 75 dollars (R$155). For the performance increase, i ask myself if would be worth it.
