ITreviewed posted a review on the OCZ Vertex Solid State Drive



Like its predecessors, the Core and Solid series, OCZ continues to make SSDs as an alternative to traditional hard drives in consumer-targeted mobile applications. The Vertex series will not replace any of the company's existing series of SSD's but will complement them at the higher end of the performance spectrum. Ideal for laptops and desktops alike, the Vertex is a premium choice for energy-efficient mobile computing to extend battery life, increase access time, and provide a durable alternative to conventional hard disc drives with shock resistance. The downside is still cost versus capacity: the range starts at just 30GB (399) and maxes out at 250GB (599). Compared to a regular hard disk drive - which can be purchased for under 100 with a capacity of at least 1TB - you'll have to think long and hard about justifying the outlandish expense. If you're building a cutting-edge super computer or are just a performance junkie wanting unmatched response and speed, get your credit card ready.
