5 out of 5 eggs Excellent SSD, works like a charm. 07/09/2011

This review is from: OCZ Vertex 2 2.5" 55GB SATA II MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) OCZSSD2-2VTXE60G

Pros:

Owned it for nearly 7 months now, haven't had a single problem with it. Write speeds were among the best I could ask for for a SATA II SSD as I had a DB to write to. Read speeds were of course amazing, windows booting up in a couple of seconds is always nice to see. Would definitely recommend vertex series to anyone.

Cons:

This is a general con and not specific to OCZ or this model, buyer beware on SSDs. The technology is not nearly as reliable yet as HDDs and as a result you may find yourself RMAing it once or multiple times before you get a working one. Obviously doesn't warrant removing an egg because there's nothing OCZ can do about that yet.

Overall Review:

If you're in the market for an SSD I definitely recommend OCZ IMO, people complain that OCZ's SSDs are unstable and fail too much but I honestly think that's an overstatement and really just a by product of the technology.

No real point in getting a Vertex 2 anymore unless you get a really nice deal on it or you don't have SATA III, Vertex 3 is out already and not too much more expensive than Vertex 2 and double the speeds thanks t SATA III.
