The OCZ Vertex 4 ships in a stylish black and dark grey box. They list the capacity bottom right of the box.
OCZ include a lovely, branded 3.5 inch drive bay with mounting screws. There is also literature on the product.
The Vertex 4 is dark, comprised of a plastic front panel and a metal rear panel.
Please remember that opening these drives will invalidate your warranty. That is why we are here, to show you the insides without you having to take the risk.
The Indilinx controller is marked IDX400MOO-BC (Vertex 3 controller was IDX300M00-BC) – although its underneath a thermal pad in our images. OCZ are using Intel synchronous 25nm NAND flash memory (29F64G08ACME3). There are sixteen ONfi NAND modules on the PCB, each of them 8GB in size.
awesome, time to update my main system !
they are great drives, good to see them all coming down in price too.
Would have been nice if you would have focused on actual real world performance. Quite often synthetic benchmarks are only a very very rough approximation of real world performance.
Lots of issues were fixed by this update, and yes, the performance was noticeably increased. This update was just a relief
Great review & info’ thanks. I have ordered a Vertex 4 128GB and will be seeing for myself the results in real testing soon and this will be on firmware 1.5 as that has now been released.
does the ONfi NAND modules support toggle mode ?
