Summarizing the performance of OCZs Apex Series SSD is rather straight-forward. The OCZ Apex Series SSD trailed the Intel X25-M is every benchmark in regard to Read performance, and generally trailed Intels offering in write performance as well. I...

If you have been itching to pick up an SSD and have the money to do so, the OCZ Apex SSD is a solid performer, meeting rated specifications with a relatively affordable price tag for an MLC SSD at this capacity. I have no problems recommending this p...
The SSD technology is still pricey, but the prices are coming down at a reasonable pace. An Apex 120GB SSD will set you back about $300 in USA or €330, which is still a lot, but note that this money buys a disk that’s almost three times faster...
Value wise the Apex is also a little disappointing. While we appreciate that cutting edge tech always carries a premium, the cost per gigabyte of the Apex at £2.87 in comparison to the G.Skill Titan’s £1.83 doesn’t make it as appealing (if you...
Outrageously fast reading and writing speeds on the OCZ Technology Apex series RAID 0 array, Excellent reading and writing performance on our single OCZ Technology Apex series SSD, Lightning fast access times, Completely silent operation, Fast operatin
Relatively expensive.
Let us summarise the most important positive and negative points belowThe main positive pointsThe OCZ Apex series drives are fast, very fast. The performance of the two OCZ Technology Apex series drives in our RAID 0 array was stunning.Reading access time...
Impressive 246 MBps read and 174 write bandwidth in ATTO, Internal RAID-0 architecture brings value MLC near to premium SLC, Low power consumption may extend battery life, Lightweight compact storage solution, Resistant to extreme shock impact, Up to 2...
Metal case is heavier and less durable than plastic, Lacks integrated USB 2.0 MiniB data connection, Small 16KB cache buffer per SSD controller
Benchmark Reviews begins each conclusion with a short summary for each of the areas we rate. The first is presentation, which takes product packaging into consideration to the extent that it provides adequate packing material and consumer information f...
The OCZ Apex is a new take on the solid state drive that offers both high performance and the low cost of multi-level cell technology. Does this drive have enough to completely unseat the Intel X25-M when it comes to raw performance? Not quite, but ...
Overall, the drive is a pretty good performer at a very attractive price. If you’re not looking to break I/O barriers, but still want the many benefits of SSD — such as improved read/write performance, lower power consumption and greater durab...
Great Read Performance, Great Real World Performance, Very good write performance, Decreased chances of bad stuttering happening, Reasonable price (especially when compared to the X25 on a $ per GB basis), Moderate power draw
Still not priced well when compared to Spindle based hard drives, Stutter in some instances can occur even with a tweaked OS, Still uses JMicron controllers, Only 2 year warranty
When we went into this review we thought we had a fairly good idea of what to expect from the OCZ Apex. We knew it was going to have for all intents and purposes the same generation of MLC NAND chips, the same RAID controller and even the same JM602 du...
