2.5" Solid State Drives / 20nm MLC / SATA III / 120GB-240GB

OCZ Vertex 3 Solid State Drives are designed and built to significantly improve your gaming, multimedia, and overall computing experience over traditional mechanical hard drives. In addition to maximized productivity, a Vertex 3 upgrade makes a hard drive-equipped notebook more portable than ever with superior durability and reduced power consumption. Using proven controller and next generation MLC flash memory technology, Vertex 3.20 SSDs deliver the performance and responsiveness your hard drive-ridden Mac or PC has been begging for.

Product Features

• Based on the award-winning Vertex 3 Series, built with leading-edge NAND flash to deliver a superior user experience and improved application performance compared to hard drives.

• Includes SandForce’s robust DuraClass™ features that work in tandem to deliver world-class SSD reliability, performance, and power efficiency

• DuraWrite™ architecture optimizes the number of program cycles to the flash, effectively extending flash rated endurance by 20x or more when compared to standard SSDs

• Advanced wear leveling and monitoring - optimized algorithms further extend flash endurance

•Advanced read/program disturb management - safeguards against errant re-programming of cells during read and program cycles

• Recycler - intelligently performs garbage collection with the least impact on flash endurance

Faster Performance for Cost-Effectiveness

SSDs have 100x greater throughput and instantaneous access times for quicker boot ups, faster file transfers and overall snappier performance than hard drives.

Because many HDDs are needed to acheive the same performnace, SSDs offer greater cost effectiveness for IOPS per dollar.

Greater Durability

The non-mechanical design of NAND flash mounted to circuit boards are shock resistant up to 1500g, unlike HDDs with various moving parts.

Less Power, Silent Operation

SSDs use significantly less wattage at peak load than hard drives, delivering longer battery life in notebooks, less power strain on system and a cooler computing environment.

With no moving parts, SSDs run virtually silent in your notebook or PC case to eliminate distracting noises during gaming or entertainment.
