OCZ Vertex 3 240GB

[Skyguy]

OCZ is known for their SSD innovations, and the Vertex 3 looks to be another in a long line, sporting the new SandForce controller and promising big performance increases to what was already an impressive product in the Vertex 2 predecessor. Today we've got the Vertex 3 in a 240GB capacity. Big and fast; we love that combination.

I had my Vertex Turbo going on 6 months now and its sitting at 80% health.. which I think is okay.



Those SandForce SSDs are said to have better life though.

Wow some pretty impressive numbers there, so at the 120Gb size pretty much the same as the original Revo if I remember, at half the cost pretty impressive drive, seems like OCZ is there only competition and there pushing themselves out of the market LOL.

Fast drive that's for sure, I would like to thank OCZ for sending Pure OC the Vertex 3 ES sample !

Thanks, I missed that, getting old, I appreciate the help. Thats really a great price for a system drive for me, and just big enough. I will couple that with a 1TB WD Black and be all set. ( Hdd related anyway, I still need the rest of system. Have to wait for the new LGA2011 or the new Sandy bridge motherboards, whichever comes first.

I turned 67 last September and recovering from a bypass, but I am still into my computer and this forum is the best and Dr_Death and Skyguy and Kipper are always looking out for me, I appreciate them and you and this forum.
Thanks to all.

Hi Alan, seems you joined in about a month ago, but this is the first post I've seen of yours.

Good to see you here and welcome! Great place here with a whole bunch of info and great people.

Who is this Alan1476

Never heard of him, and why the 1476; birth year most likely since he sounds older than dirt and almost as old as Doc Death.
