Editor Notes
Overview
The Vertex 2 from OCZ is one of the most popular consumer/client solid state drives to date. It runs on the SATA 2 interface and uses the popular SF-1200 controller from SandForce, like other drives including the Corsair Force series. The SandForce SF-1200 does not make use of DRAM cache, but is nevertheless able to produce consistently high sequential read/write speeds regardless of the drive's capacity, as well as up to 50,000 IOPS (random 4K).
It also comes with TRIM support, which is available in Windows 7 as well as the latest versions of Mac OS X. The TRIM command helps prevent performance deterioration by frequently erasing unused blocks to make new writes faster and more eficient.

“The drives have done very well in our tests as well as in my personal systems, although I still recommend waiting to see if any strange bugs crop up over the coming months if you’re not fond of making potentially risky purchases.”

“It's not a secret that with the SF1200 series SSDs, OCZ brings a great new SSD series to the market. On certain applications we see baffling numbers reaching advertised speeds.”
