OCZ Vertex 4 512GB SATA III MLC SSD

This refurbished 2.5-inch internal solid-state drive uses an Indilinx Everest 2 controller with MLC memory. It connects through a SATA III interface and offers 512GB of capacity. The drive includes a 3.5-inch desktop adaptor bracket for installation flexibility.

Suits SATA upgrades; not for PCIe slots

This drive fits users upgrading a laptop or desktop that accepts a 2.5-inch SATA drive. It delivers sequential reads up to 560MBps and writes up to 510MBps. Random 4KB performance reaches 95,000 IOPS read and 120,000 IOPS write. Low queue-depth optimisation helps everyday responsiveness.

SATA III interface decides compatibility

The SATA III connection determines whether this drive works in a given system. It requires a standard SATA data and power port. MTBF is rated at 2,000,000 hours. Idle power draw is 1.3W and active power is 2.5W. Operating temperature spans 0°C to 70°C.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 2.5" Vertex 4 into a desktop, and which step is often missed?

Mount the drive in the included 3.5" adaptor bracket, connect SATA data and power cables, then enable AHCI in the BIOS before installing the operating system; skipping the AHCI switch is the common oversight.

What maintenance or replacement will the MLC NAND and Indilinx Everest 2 controller need over time?

No scheduled maintenance is required; the drive relies on TRIM and the controller's wear-levelling, and with a 2,000,000-hour MTBF it is designed to last the system's life unless the NAND exhausts its write cycles.

What limit appears first when the Vertex 4 runs sustained heavy writes?

The sustained sequential write ceiling of 510MBps is reached before thermal throttling, since the drive operates within 0°C to 70°C and draws only 2.5W active.
