OCZ Vertex 3 Max IOPS 240GB SSD Review
Even though SSDs are a relatively new technology and market penetration is not yet extensive, demand from performance-crazed enthusiasts has led several of the major manufacturers to release products designed for maximum performance regardless of their high cost. Today we will examine OCZ’s currently fastest 2.5” SSD offering, the Vertex 3 Max IOPS 240GB drive. As the name suggests, this disk has been designed and tuned to deliver the best possible IOPS performance which current controllers and flash memory technologies allow. How well it can perform in both synthetic benchmarks and real-world applications? We will find out in this review.
OCZ supplies the Vertex 3 Max IOPS 240GB drive inside a relatively small, well made cardboard box. The black/grey artwork on the box is very serious, to the point most people would characterize it as “gloomy”. The box offers good protection to the lightweight drive during transport.
Inside the box everything is very tightly packed and well secured with cardboard pieces and polyethylene foam.
Bundled with the drive the user will find a metallic 2.5” to 3.5” adapter and the necessary mounting screws, an installation guide and warranty info, as well as a large case sticker.
