Verdict and Conclusion

Introduction

We've looked at a fair number of OCZ SSDs here at Funky Kit, today we have another one! This is OCZ's brand new, just launched, Vector! It sets itself apart from previous drives mostly from the standpoint of having the first entirely in-house controller from OCZ! It also has a metal case, which is nice.

OCZ of course has been in the SSD business for quite a while now, let's see what they have to say about their history with SSDs...

From the OCZ technology.com About Us page:

In recent years, OCZ has expanded beyond memory and power supplies, being one of the first major consumer brands to bring solid state drives to the market in a mission to spark mainstream adoption over traditional hard drives. Putting an end to the acceptance of slower, less reliable storage options, OCZ set out to deliver affordable, premium high-performance SSD solutions. OCZ was the first manufacturer to implement the renowned performance of the Indilinx Barefoot controller in their SSD solutions with the ground-breaking Vertex Series, which paved the way for a surge of “me-too” solutions. Determined to remain innovative, OCZ developed two unique SSD series, Vertex Turbo and Agility, focused on higher performance and greater affordability. Furthermore, OCZ’s concern with SSD performance degradation spawned its quest for the “garbage collection” and TRIM support found in OCZ SSDs today.

 

With fortitude unlike any other company, OCZ continues to lead the way for this burgeoning technology. SSDs have the potential to revolutionize our everyday computing experience or even an entire business’ productivity and OCZ is dedicated to making them even better, faster, and more reliable. Our latest and next generation of SSDs are designed with both the consumer and enterprise market in mind, forming a distinct company philosophy of affordability and quality that goes into both product lines.

In short, OCZ loves SSDs and loves making them faster. They've done a good job of it too, really. I'm excited to see what their first entirely in-house controller (The Indilinx Barefoot 3) can do.

Let's check the drive out visually first though.
