Overall, the latest from Toshiba and OCZ in the VX500 performs very well. We saw great performance in reads across many of the tests and writes were, in most cases, much faster than the others from Toshiba and steadily knocking on the door of the Samsun...

592TB TDW endurance (324GB/day over 5 years), Acronis True Image HD license included, MLC NAND performance, Great warranty program
Plain Aesthetics, 4K performance was a bit lacking
Encountering a new MLC-based NAND SATA SSD these days is becoming a rare thing, as most manufacturers have been focusing on high-capacity, low-cost TLC NAND offerings. While the performance and enthusiast sector continues to amaze us with new PCIe NVM...
Good overall performance, Weighs less than two ounces
Slow for MLC when reading our 20GB group of small files and folders
Though we weren't overly impressed with the VX500's small-file read performance, its overall and sustained performance still easily exceeds that of TLC drives. When comparing it against other MLC drives, consider the overall performance and cost. If y...
Great overall performance, Uses more reliable MLC NAND, SLC caching seems to be implemented better than TLC-based drives, 5-year OCZ Advanced Warranty, OCZ SSD Utility Software
SLC caching will eventually slow the drive down
The OCZ VX500 from Toshiba is a strong contender in the mainstream sector of solid state drive offerings. We have seen many companies use 3D NAND or the less expensive TLC NAND for their drives in this sector, so it is interesting to see Toshiba go with M...
Standout warranty and endurance, Well-designed software utility
Merely average speed in most tests, Not aggressively priced, given performance
The VX500 is a decent SSD with high endurance ratings and a premium warranty. But it doesn't have the incrementally faster speed or rock-bottom pricing needed to prevail in the crowded market for SATA SSDs. Read More…...
Metal case, screwtogether construction, Acronis True Image bundled, 5year warranty
Doesn't convincingly outperform less expensive drives
IMPORTANT: Although the rating and final score mentioned in this conclusion are made to be as objective as possible, please be advised that every author perceives these factors differently at various points in time. While we each do our best to ensure tha...

The VX500 has a very different performance profile from the Vector 180 it replaces. This isn't always a bad thing: in many ways, the Vector 180 behaved more like an enterprise SSD with an emphasis on sustained performance. The VX500 by contrast is very cl...
These days, the Toshiba OCZ VX500 is competing in a very difficult market segment. Enthusiasts who want top notch performance tend to look to PCIe based SSDs while most mainstream users who simply want better performance than their aging hard drives focus...

Solid mainstream performance, Good mixed workload and application, Performance, Shiny?
DRAMless, Low random performance, Not a premium SATA competitor, Poor pricing
The OCZ VX500 is simply a remake of another mainstream Toshiba SSD. OCZ adds some functions through software, a more attractive package and name recognition. The VX500 costs less than the Q300 Pro, but the MSRP is not low enough for us to chose this d...
