The OCZ Vertex Series delivers the speed and reliability of SSDs at a lower price per gigabyte than other
offerings currently on the market and is ideal for mainstream mobile and desktop systems. As the first model
to use the Indilinx Barefoot controller, the award-winning OCZ Vertex Series is the result of proven SSD
technology that has consistently garnered praise from independent review sites for its outstanding performance.
Perfect for a first SSD, the Vertex Series delivers enhanced energy efficiency, increased speed, and superior
durability and shock resistance over conventional hard disc drives. The OCZ Vertex drives feature a durable yet
lightweight alloy housing, and because OCZ SSDs have no moving parts, the drives are more rugged than
traditional hard drives. Designed for ultimate reliability, Vertex Series SSDs come backed a leading three year
warranty as well as OCZ's legendary service and support, giving you added peace of mind for your high
performance investment. Furthermore, OCZ continues to support the drives with firmware updates and an active
online SSD community.
