2.5" Solid State Drives / SATA II / MLC / 60GB-120GB / Mainstream Series
OCZ Vertex Plus Solid State Drives are the faster, cooler, quieter, and more durable alternative to conventional hard disc drives. In combination with the latest flash memory, the Vertex Plus features the revolutionary new Indilinx Arowana FTL with HyperQueuing, which significantly increases sequential write speeds and random IOPS over the previous generation FTL. With excellent reliability and lower power consuming NAND flash, these SSDs use less energy while giving you real-world results in your everyday computing and battery life. Complete with TRIM support, Vertex Plus is the ultimate notebook or desktop upgrade.
Compared to its predecessor, Vertex Plus features higher sequential speeds along with improved 4KB random write IOPS, while offering excellent uncompressed data performance. Thanks to cost effective NAND and controller technology, the Vertex Plus offers lower cost per gigabyte configurations than competing drives on the market, making them excellent starting points into the world of SSDs.
Available in 60GB and 120GB capacities, the Vertex Plus Series is an ideal upgrade option for system boot drives, RAID arrays, or as primary laptop storage at an ultra-attractive price point.

I got this drive to replace my 5400 rpm slow 3 years old laptop drive and I couldn't ask for more! I do not hear the drive anymore and Windows 7 boots in 13 seconds now, was 35 to 40 before that. My battery should last longer too!

Looks like they are clearing out stock of SATA2 SSD. Better grap one now for my HTPC and the price is cheap for 80 bucks.

This was a good price, but comparing it to the vertex 3 i bought, It has no visible difference to me, and I used this on a sata2 rig, so good for the price, but go for the vertex 3 if you have a sata3 setup.

I have had this drive for 6 months and it suddenly stopped working when I tried to boot my computer one morning. While it was working, it was great, and using a temporary reuglar HD now really makes me miss it. Now its time for the RMA process...

I came from a OCZ Solid3, which was painfully unreliable until Firmware 2.22 was released. Now everything is as intended, and I am confident enough to put OCZ Sandforce based SSDs in all of my computers.
System boots up faster, however, not quite sure that the cost per GB is really wotth the speed difference. Perhaps I have some incorrect settings. I'll do a bit more research.

I am using it as a USB flash drive. I bought it to replace my HDD which broke down while traveling. It is faster and more resistant than the HDD so it was perfect for me. Also, using it on USB 3.0 port, the transfer speed is just worthwhile.

I bought this for my Macbook 13" late '06 edition and it works well now. very fast boot up times (roughly 12 seconds). i'm quite happy considering the macbook is SATA 1. only gripe i had was that for the Macbook sata 1 there was an issue that needed the latest firmware so if your a macbook SATA 1 user make sure you download the firmware before installing any OS, it'll save you the hours that i spent trying to figure out why installing any OS was acting odd. other then that the price is amazing and the speed is great. very happy so far.

This is definitely the best upgrade I've ever done on a PC that was a couple of years old. It gave it new wings that should be able to keep it usable for a few more years until I buy a new rig again.
