OCZ Vertex 450 256GB SSD Full Review - Indilinx drives 20nm flash

[news 28]

The Vertex 3.20 used the same tride and true SandForce controller used

in previous iterations of that line. The older Vertex line was

starting to show its age, and the move to 20nm didn't really help the

issue. We knew it was just a matter of time before they brought 20nm

to their Indilinx Barefoot line, and that time is now. The new model

suggests OCZ may abandon the Vector name, and resurrect the

performance of their flagship product line by shifting their Indilinx

Barefoot 3 (BF3-M10) over to a newly dubbed Vertex 450.

Quote: "Back when OCZ launched the Vertex 3.20, I felt like they were

just checking the 20nm box with an underperforming, low-cost SSD.

Within a month, however, they flipped that around entirely by

launching another 20nm SSD driven by their powerhouse Indilinx

controller. The performance leads the pack, and now so does the

price."

 

Thanks!!
