Solidly constructed and proven SSD design, Increased performance over prior Vector, Reduced cost enabled by use of 19nm flash, The Vector's 7mm thickness allows greater mounting flexibility,
Price (maybe see below)
OCZ has kept the Vector line fresh by introducing 19nm Toshiba flash into their top tier consumer product. Performance was not negatively affected by the smaller process, and the 50GB/day throughput rating over a 5-year warranty span shows that both O...

The Vector 150 is a logical successor for the Vector. It doesn't redefine SSD performance, yet OCZ has managed to add enough improvements to the Vector 150 to make it a different product. The first one is IO consistency. While the Vector had good performa...

Added 256bit AES hardware encryption improves security while 19nm MLC synchronous memory promises 150% more writes than 2012's original 25nmbased Vector.
The Vector 150's performance is largely on par with last year's drive, which wouldn't be an issue on its own, but it becomes one with OCZ's asking price of $1.00/GB or more.
Performance-wise, little has changed about OCZ's Vector series over the last year. The new Vector 150 is generally slightly faster than the original, but it can be slower -- much slower in some cases. Meanwhile, despite boasting a higher sequential write...
As expected with the Barefoot 3 controller, the OCZ Vector 150 has great performance, however, we found power consumption ratings a bit under the weather....
We summarize storage performance with a single score derived by comparing each drive's performance to that of a common baseline: a painfully slow notebook hard drive. This index uses a subset of the performance data from our full test suite. We then mash...
