Vertex 2 Solid State Drives deliver unprecedented performance for the complete gamut of gaming and professional multimedia applications. OCZ designed the Vertex 2 to surpass the competition where it counts most, pushing the limits in both sequential and random read/write rates. With 4k file writes up to 50,000 IOPS, these drives take productivity to the next level with over ten times the performance of the previous generation. Using high-performance controller technology, Vertex 2 not only provides a faster, more responsive PC experience, but also promotes cooler, quieter, and more energy-efficient conditions than traditional mechanical hard drives.
The Vertex 2 makes an SSD the ideal storage alternative to hard drives, and delivers the quality, reliability, and durability demanded by consumers. Built with SATA 3Gb/s, the Vertex 2 Series easily integrates into today’s mobile and desktop platforms, and features TRIM support to optimize performance over the drive’s lifespan.
OCZ Vertex 2 SSDs are available in 40GB to 480GB.
Cool, quiet and durable operationOCZ Vertex 2 SSDs feature a durable yet lightweight housing, and because they have no moving parts, they are more rugged than conventional hard discs. Available in ample 40GB to 480GB capacities, the Vertex 2 is an ideal hard drive replacement for first-time SSD upgraders.
TRIM SupportThe OCZ Vertex 2 Series SSDs offer native TRIM support featured in Windows 7. Designed to maintain the performance of SSD at an optimal level over the lifetime of the drive, TRIM functions by actively deleting invalid data from the SSD’s memory cells to ensure that write operations perform at full speed. Since a memory block must be erased before it can be re-programmed, TRIM improves performance by pro-actively erasing pages containing invalid data, allowing the SSD to write new data without first having to perform a time-consuming erase command.
