OCZ has recently introduced a new family of high-performance SSD: the Vertex series 450. The OCZ Vector in a short time has been great success thanks to their high performance, their versatility and price. In the following review, we will appreciate the new drive Vertex 450 256GB in the cut and see if it really has the cards from the table to be considered one of the best SSD currently in circulation.
OCZ Technology Group was founded in August 2002 with base of operations in San Jose, California. The company it fast became especially among over-clockers due to the quality of its RAM memory, with a strong leadership now proven you are not pulled back with the advent of DDR3 memory and was the first manufacturer in the world to disclose DDR3 RAM for systems with Intel XMP.
The success with the RAM memory modules has been repeated for the feeders, the powers of the Z series were the first to be certified 80 Plus Gold or, after the recent introduction of the Platinum category, the best in the market.
On January 11, 2011, via an official statement, the company said the permanent abandonment of RAM memory market to devote himself to the SSD market. The reason for this neglect is due to the immediate imposition by OCZ in the field of mass storage devices at high speed thanks to a wide range of SSDs which includes SATA II, SATA III, SAS, PCIe, and recently also HSDL, hybrid interface PCIe / SAS fast. The recent acquisition of Indilinx, another milestone that marks the great progress of OCZ in this area.
During the first years of operation in this area, we could consider the OCZ Vertex series as the spearhead of the manufacturer. During 2012 a few months after the release of OCZ Vertex 4, was inaugurated the Vector series which still represents one of the highest performing SSD on the market. Despite this, the Vertex series has not seen its end, so here come the introduction of the OCZ Vertex 450 which could be defined as an update to the Vertex 4 and a slight reduction in the Vector.
