Firmware Updates

 

Description

Flash Media / 2.5" Solid State Drives / SATA II / 64MB Cache / MLC / Performance Series

Offering your system the incredible performance of flash-based storage, the OCZ Vertex Series delivers the performance and reliability of SSDs at less price per gigabyte than other high speed offerings currently on the market. The OCZ Vertex Series is the result of all the latest breakthroughs in SSD technology, including new architecture and controller design, blazing read/write speeds, and 64MB of onboard cache.

Perfect for notebooks and desktops alike, the Vertex Series is ideal for energy-efficient mobile computing to extend battery life, increase the speed of access time, and provide a durable alternative to conventional hard disc drives with superior shock resistance. High capacities and low power consuming NAND flash technology provide the necessary performance and battery life boosts generated by the proliferation of mobile gaming and new ultra-thin laptops.

The OCZ Vertex drives feature a durable yet lightweight alloy housing, and because OCZ SSDs have no moving parts, the drives are more rugged than traditional hard drives. Designed for ultimate reliability, Vertex Series SSDs have an excellent 1.5 million hour mean time before failure (MTBF) ensuring peace of mind over the long term. All Vertex Series SSD drives come backed a three year warranty and OCZ’s legendary service and support.

IMPORTANT NOTE: To continually improve and optimize the Vertex SSD for the latest platforms OCZ will constantly release new firmware updates. Detailed firmware information can be found on our support forums and a step-by-step flashing guide is available here

Which SATA/Chipset drivers are best to use my Vertex?
- Intel chipset IDE mode = Intel driver
- Intel chipset AHCI mode = Microsoft driver
- Intel chipset raid mode = Intel driver
- AMD chipset IDE mode = Microsoft driver
- AMD chipset AHCI mode = Microsoft driver
- AMD chipset raid mode = AMD driver
- NVIDIA chipset IDE mode = Microsoft driver
- NVIDIA chipset AHCI mode = Microsoft driver
- NVIDIA chipset raid mode = NVIDIA driver

*Consumers may see a discrepancy between reported capacity and actual capacity; the storage industry standard is to display capacity in decimal. However, the operating system usually calculates capacity in binary format, causing traditional HDD and SSD to show a lower capacity in Windows. In the case of SSDs, some of the capacity is reserved for formatting and redundancy for wear leveling. These reserved areas on an SSD may occupy up to 5% of the drive’s storage capacity. On the Vertex Series the naming convention reflects this and the 30 is equivalent to 32GB, the 60 is equivalent to the 64GB and so on.

**Rated speeds are based on the Intel P45 chipset, speeds may vary slightly dependent on the benchmark used, drivers, windows version, bios version and file size. We recommend using ATTO and PC Mark Vantage for benchmarking SSDs.
