OCZ Vertex 2 EX Solid State Drives are designed to provide the best of both worlds - exceptional
performance with the latest cutting-edge technology paired with unparalleled reliability. The Vertex 2 EX
pushes the limits in both large and small file speeds with up to 285MB/s and 50,000 IOPS (4KB random
write). The Vertex 2 EX is an enterprise-class solution that utilizes SLC NAND flash to deliver outstanding
read and write performance and maximum endurance. Along with best-in-class reliability and all the benefits
of SSD technology including faster access times, lower power consumption, and superior durability compared
to conventional hard drives, Vertex 2 EX provides advanced ECC protection, encryption, and block
management.
