OCZ storage solutions unveils their first product: The vertex 460 ssd

You might notice that the about picture is a render, that is because this is a prototype. Things may change but the external appearance is likely to stay the same.

 

 

Evolving from the 20 nm-based Vertex 450, the new Vertex 460 uses the company's proprietary Barefoot 3 (BF3) M10 controller with state-of-the-art Toshiba 19 nm MLC NAND flash memory to deliver a superior, cost-effective solid state storage solution. With an emphasis on real-world performance across all capacities, Vertex 460 SSDs start fast and continue that way over time, excelling in write speeds without the use of synthetic software-based optimization.

The new series delivers excellent sustained and mixed-workload performance across the board whether the data is in compressed or uncompressed formats, as well as an accelerated and more responsive computing experience. Vertex 460 offers up to 545 MB/s sequential reads, 525 MB/s sequential writes, 95,000 4K random read IOPS, and up to 90,000 4K random write IOPS, while featuring sustained 4K random write performance up to 23,000 IOPS.

 

This is pretty awesome if you ask me, hopefully OCZ maintains the cheaper prices, lets see how the new OCZ goes.

 

Oddly this series only goes up to 480gb instead of 1tb which is becoming a bit more common, i wonder that maybe they have another product for that.

 

Did i mention you get acronis image tools free with this which is really good, i think acronis is one of the best for making images.

Right, thanks.

Doesnt mean they are safe, if they screw around then toshiba will give them the finger and then ocz is gone.

SSD's are basically still in the water until we either get PCIe SSD's becoming more mainstream and/or SATA 4. This SSD is no faster or better than my now 2 year old Vertex 4.

agreed totally, i hope sata get their shit together and make sata 4 like 20gb per sec or something like that, i dont care if its not back wards compatible

You post news like crazy.

 

Someone needs to get this man a 'News Reporter' forum badge.

I can only wish, someday however, someday

hopefully being owned by toshiba means they put some effort into reliability, that what nearly killed them in the past

state-of-the-art Toshiba 19 nm MLC NAND flash

 

F***ing Yes! This is why I wanted Toshiba to buy OCZ, finally some decent flash paired with there awesome Indilinx controllers. Toshiba flash controlled by Barefoot and in a lovely OCZ enclosure.
