Really* fast throughput - saturating SATA 6Gb/sec, Excellent IOPS scaling at higher queue depths, Overall performance similar to the more expensive Vertex 3 Pro, with the added bonus of more accessible storage

The OCZ Vertex 3 solid-state drive supports SATA 6Gbps and offers very fast performance and up to 480GB of storage. The 2.5-inch internal drive comes with a mounting accessory to fit in desktop computers' drive bays, and is comparatively affordable
The OCZ Vertex 3 SSD is significantly more expensive than traditional hard drives, particularly the 480GB-capacity model, and takes a long time to format
With excellent performance, the OCZ Vertex 3 SSD makes an ideal internal storage drive for laptops and desktop computers, especially those that support the 6Gbps SATA standard. Its hefty price tag will make most consumers think twice, however....
