OCZ Vertex 450 512GB SATA SSD

The OCZ Vertex 450 is a 2.5-inch internal solid state drive with 512GB capacity. It uses MLC memory components and connects through a SATA III interface. The drive employs an Indilinx Barefoot 3 M10 controller for sustained performance without data compression.

Desktop and laptop SATA upgrades

This drive suits systems that accept a standard 2.5-inch SATA storage device. It includes a 3.5-inch desktop adapter bracket for tower installations. Buyers whose systems require an M.2 or PCIe interface should select a different form factor.

540 MB/s sequential read speed

Sustained sequential read reaches 540 MB/s while sequential write reaches 530 MB/s. Random 4KB performance delivers up to 85000 IOPS read and 90000 IOPS write. These figures determine whether the drive meets the throughput needs of the intended workload.

Questions about this item

Will the 2.5" Vertex 450 fit a 3.5" desktop bay?

Yes, a 3.5-inch desktop adapter bracket is bundled so the 2.5-inch drive mounts securely in a standard desktop bay.

What is the common mistake when installing the SATA III Vertex 450?

Connecting the drive to a SATA II port instead of a SATA III port limits the 540 MB/s read and 530 MB/s write speeds.

How long is the Vertex 450 rated to last under typical use?

The drive carries a 1,700,000-hour MTBF rating and uses MLC NAND with the Indilinx Barefoot 3 M10 controller for sustained endurance.
