Photos and Pictures
First some pictures! We’ll start with the box.
Nice looking and informative box, I approve.
Inside we find the SSD, surrounded by foam and thick paperboard, inside an anti-static bag. Shouldn’t be any issues with shipping damage here, OCZ did a good job.
The drive itself is a tiny little lightweight thing, it’s a far cry from a standard HDD that’s for sure!
If you live somewhere with a lot of static electricity be careful with computer parts, most of ’em don’t appreciate static at all.
I love the color scheme, it looks great!
The bottom of the drie is brushed dark metal, it looks really nice, the photo doesn’t do it justice. Along with being careful about static, don’t throw the drive or squeeze the life out of it.
Standard SATA power and data connections, nothing special here.

16 Intel 25nm 8GB flash chips. If you do the math it comes out to 128GB rather than the drive’s 120GB rated size, OCZ and the Sandforce controller save some aside for replacing any cells that die, as well as using it to maximize read/write performance.
Actual formatted size is ~111GB.
Speaking of performance, lets look at that next.
