OCZ Vertex 460 240GB Solid State Drive Review

news · April 15, 2014

Over the last few months, OCZ have been in the limelight with the

news of imminent bankruptcy and to be quite honest, for us reviewers

and particularly those of use that review their products it has been

very had to ignore the facts and what was going on. As a result I was

very sceptical that I was going to get any more products from them and

these were the last days of one of the best SSDs names out there.

Fortunately though, help was on hand and following a buyout from

Toshiba, OCZ are once again back in the game. With Indlinx controllers

at their heart and now having Toshiba's own NAND packages spread

around, OCZ have now got a stable supply of components for their SSDs

and with this set of critical changes taking place, there is no other

way to display their come back but to release a new drive.

Following in the footsteps of the Vertex 450, the Vertex 460 is home

to the same Indlinx BareFoot 3 M10 controller, however on the NAND

front the younger and fresher drive takes advantage of Toshiba's 19nm

MLC NAND packages and the resulting combination sees a drive that on

paper looks quite promising. The rated performance figures put it up

with some of the class leading drives, although it has been priced in

the region of other mainstream drives.

Whilst some people are sceptical that the buyout from Toshiba will

help out OCZ in the longterm, OCZÃ‚Â are still going to run under their

own name and the essence of OCZ's previous products is still going to

be there. I personally have high hopes for them and I look forward to

seeing a number of class leading products roll off the production line

in the near future. There is only one way to see how the rejuvenation

process has gone and that is to put the drives to test and see what

they are made of.
