CCE Reviews and CPU3D have reviewed the OCZ Vertex solid state drive (SSD), in both 30GB and 120GB capacities.

Let's see what they had to say:

  • CCE Reviewsþ: OCZ 30GB Vertex (OCZSSD2-1VTX30G) SSD Review:

    "The OCZ Vertex is leaps and bounds better than the original JMicron Solid State Drive. If you’re an owner of the first generation drives and noticing your performance and system is starting to fall behind, it is time for an upgrade. I was originally pleased with the JMicron MLC SSD but after a few short weeks of use my notebook started to hang for a few seconds at a time. As OCZ clearly indicated on their packaging, my OCZ Vertex gives me faster access times resulting in a far more stable machine. The 64MB cache has made a world of difference and OCZ didn’t sacrifice too much bandwidth for the improved access time. We’re still well into the 140MB/s Write and 200MB/s Read. With Win7 just around the corner and the OCZ Vertex already claiming to support the TRIM command, OCZ’s Vertex has a very bright future ahead of itself."

  • CPU3D: OCZ Vertex Series 120Gb SSD SATA-II Review:

    "The OCZ Vertex Series 120Gb SSD offers blisteringly fast performance for both read and write. Using MLC NAND Flash technology with 64Mb cache and RAID support, it's the perfect storage solution for any enthusiast or high-end users wanting that extra performance. Price is the only concern ... but after you've seen the OCZ Vertex Series 120Gb SSD in action, I sure it won't be an issue."

Although not the newest model in OCZ's lineup, the Vertex remains are very competitive SSD and a good value if you can find it on sale.
