OCZ Vertex 3 60GB 2.5IN SATA3 6Gbps Sandforce SF-2281 Solid State Disk Flash Drive SSD
Cons:Pain and a half to get working
Pros:Noticeable improvement over a HDD Comment:
Got this on sale as a boot drive to go alongside two 2TB hard drives for storage. Took quite a while to get it to boot with my aging motherboard; updated every driver I had, updated the bios, swapped cables around, restarted a million times, etc. Not sure what finally got it working, but it did, and works like a charm now. Boot is very fast, though not as fast as it could be as my motherboard is only SATA2, but that should be getting upgraded soon. |

OCZ Vertex 3 60GB 2.5IN SATA3 6Gbps Sandforce SF-2281 Solid State Disk Flash Drive SSD
Cons:- None so far
Pros:- Comes in a nice package with a mounting bracket and screws Comment:
60 GB is kind of small with only about 55 GB usable, but large enough for an operating system. My desktop does boot a little faster (with this drive) than my laptop's SSD which has an Indilinx controller. I am also glad my SSD did not arrive DOA. I guess the foam packaging helps and that is why I listed it as a pro. |

OCZ Vertex 3 60GB 2.5IN SATA3 6Gbps Sandforce SF-2281 Solid State Disk Flash Drive SSD
Cons:Awkward 2.5" to 3.5" adapter
Pros:Performance, price Comment:
The Vertex 3 line is a great contender in the SF-2000 line of SSDs.Performance is high and quality is decent.The 2.5" to 3.5" adapter doesn't really work with a number of cases, which is a bit odd. |

Cons:The rebate process is too restrictive
Pros:Affordable & fast. 3.5" mounting hardware included Comment:
A good drive to update my HTPC to improve performance. Video streaming seems smoother.The 3.5" mounting bracket & screws are handy for mounting the SSD into a desktop machine. Not all SSD brands come with one.I couldn't claim my rebate because it only allowed a 30 day period after purchase. |

OCZ Vertex 3 60GB 2.5IN SATA3 6Gbps Sandforce SF-2281 Solid State Disk Flash Drive SSD
Cons:Capacity
Pros:Fast, well made, works with ESXi Cache Comment:
I bought this SSD in late 2011 for use in an ESXi server box. This was the boot disk (ESXi doesn't need a lot of space), with a 1TB for the main data store. Even though it has not been connected over SATA3, it still performs very well and because it is an SSD ESXi was able to utilise all the free space as SWAP cache for the VMs. I am not sure how much difference that makes, but still - nice to have.Since then it has been running 24x7 under light load without any issues. It just keeps on going so I am very happy with it.The only thing I would say, is that if I were to buy again I would likely go for the 120GB version at a minimum as 60GB is not really that useful, where as a larger drive has a little more flexibility to it. |

OCZ Vertex 3 60GB 2.5IN SATA3 6Gbps Sandforce SF-2281 Solid State Disk Flash Drive SSD
Cons:High cost per gig
Pros:Very fast transfer rates Comment:
I love SSD's... I have them in two computers of my own and this one was for a relatives machine. Had some trouble cloning the original drive to this but that was the fault of the software I was using (and my inexperience with it). Once setup, the drive worked fine. Reboot time from shut down to FULL restart went from about 3 minutes to 50 seconds. Programs open significantly faster. No problems with the drive so far. |

Pros:Wicked fastDecent pricePerfect Boot Drive. Comment:
Awesome little SSD. I've heard the rumors of these drives being really glitchy and problematic, but I own two OCZ vertex3 drives and haven't had a problem with either. A bit too small for anything more than a boot drive in my opinion, but that's why I bought it, and it's well worth the buy if that's what you're looking for. |

Cons:None.
Pros:Fast. Low power draw. Fast. Compact size. Fast. Silent. Did I mention it's very fast? A relatively good deal with sales and rebates. Comment:
Early OCZ drives had some firmware issues but this drive ships with the latest revision so it should be OK. It's large enough to act as a system drive for Windows 7 but very large applications (some games) would need a larger drive or installation on a second drive.

Bought this ssd to provide a fast boot /os drive on sons i5 760 4ghz system. updated firmwear after a bsod per day. none now with 2.13...amazing speed , but when i checked with crystal mark , it wasnt sata3 ssd performance?...an investigation showed its the system marvel controller sucks big time ...only intel sandybridge sata 3 ports are up to sata3 speed task!...oh well , seems sata 3 drivers are not optimized YET on marvel ect...so plugged into sata 2 intel ports on his msi p55 board and UP went the read /write speeds...actually a little better than sugested sata 2 max speeds , funny. oh well , still faster than a hdd , quiet with no moving parts , cool, now he wants a larger one ,lol...sata 2 ssd would be good enough for anyone except newer sandybridge chipsets which will actually utilize the sata 3 speed. |

Cons:Nothing so far. Maybe the fact that it's not 1TB?
Pros:Fast, easy to install and well priced! Comment:
This drive is nice and fast. I'm using it on my ASRock P67 Extreme4 for Windows 7 and a bunch of other commonly used programs (SATA III). Boots quick! |
I took a leap of faith since the Sandforce issue's seemed to be resolved. This came with FM 2.15. I am running it on a Sata2 port and it's still night and day over a traditional hard drive. No seeks times, no access times with blazing reads/writes and decent randoms, you can't go wrong. I haven't had any issues with this drive over the last 4 month. SSD Life reports 100% health, with 8 years 10 days remaining. I'm running 1 game on it, some screen capture sotfware and anything else I want to launch, patch, install extremely quick. Windows 8 lauches in about 10 seconds, I kid you not.Good buy when on sale.
