OCZ Vertex 450 256GB SATA SSD

The OCZ Vertex 450 is a 2.5 inch internal solid state drive with a 256GB capacity and a SATA III interface. It uses MLC NAND flash and an Indilinx Barefoot 3 M10 controller to deliver sustained sequential reads of 540 MB/s and writes of 525 MB/s.

Suits SATA upgrades for faster responsiveness

This drive suits users upgrading a laptop or desktop that supports SATA storage and want a noticeable speed improvement over a mechanical hard drive. Random read performance reaches 85,000 IOPS and random write reaches 90,000 IOPS for snappy multitasking. Active power draw is 2.65W and idle draw is 0.60W, helping battery life in portable systems.

MLC endurance with 1.7 million hour MTBF

The MLC memory components provide a mean time between failures of 1,700,000 hours and a shock resistance of 1500G. Operating temperature ranges from 0°C to 55°C, while storage temperature spans -45°C to 85°C. These figures indicate the drive is built for long-term reliability in daily workloads.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the Vertex 450 256GB is delivering its rated 540 MB/s read and 525 MB/s write after installation?

Run a sequential benchmark such as CrystalDiskMark or ATTO; sustained reads should reach 540 MB/s and writes 525 MB/s on a SATA III port with AHCI enabled.

What ships with the VTX450-25SAT3-256G and what must I supply myself?

The box contains the 2.5" 256GB MLC drive only; you must provide a SATA data cable, a SATA power connector and a 2.5" drive bay or adapter.

Which Vertex 450 capacity should I choose for a primary OS and application drive?

The 256GB model gives 540 MB/s read, 525 MB/s write, 85,000 random read IOPS and 90,000 random write IOPS — enough space and speed for OS plus core apps.
