    Don't buy.  It will die.
  

*by B***M on Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2016*

Other reviews don't lie!  This drive SUCKS.  Totally died on me after only a short period of time.  Just now went to pull out a drive I no longer use to put in a friends laptop.  Came across this and just looked it up on Amazon just to see if by some chance it was still for sale.  SHAMEFUL that OCZ AND AMAZON still have this series available for sale.  If you do your research you will not find a name brand with worse reviews than OCZ SSD drives.  Has ruined for me the good rep they once owned.  Would NEVER buy another product from them again......and the main reason isn't because this drive failed so miserably.  I understand that could happen with a product.  It's the fact that they continue to make it AND still sell it to unsuspecting customers that makes me realize they can't be trusted.  Sadly, an average of 3 out of 5 stars (or less in some cases) for a hard drive is not acceptable.

    Great when it worked. Not recognized 75% of the time. Finally died.
  

*by C***O on Reviewed in the United States on May 18, 2015*

I bought this SSD to make it my primary, boot, Windows drive to speed up my computer.  The difference in my computer's performance (boot time, application launch time, etc.) was amazing!  The problem: the drive was very inconsistently recognized by my ASUS H87M PLUS motherboard.  This meant that every time I had to reboot, it would take between 2 and 5 tries of restarting until the drive was recognized. The rest of the times the SATA port showed as empty, therefore I had no boot drive and had to power off or do Ctrl-Alt-Del to try again until I got lucky. And yes, I tried every possible hardware and software setting and solution found online, since this is a very well documented issue with these drives.Since I keep my computer on most of the time, I could live with this problem, which only came up when I had to restart for any reason. I lived with this situation for exactly 4 years, until just under 2 weeks ago, when the drive seemed to finally die.  Luckily, I had all my personal files and data on other drives, as this was only the boot/Windows drive with some of my applications installed on it, too. However, and because I failed to have proper back ups, I had to purchase another drive and go through the painful process of re-installing every single application I had before. I lost preferences and settings for most of those applications, which is a pain in the rear end (all that is my fault for not having backed up the drive).  I tried the drive on 3 other computers and the result is always the same: the computer does not detect it at all, even though the green light that can be seen inside the drive lights up.  I tried several reset methods suggested online (leaving the drive uplugged for a few hours, a day, pluggin only the data cable for a while, only the power cable for a while, etc.) to no avail.  So I now own a OCZ brick. I am disappointed that it failed in just 4 years.  I have drives much older than that and that get a lot more use and they are still running.  The new drive I purchased is a Samsung 850 EVO 500GB and, since I installed it, it has worked beautifully.  During the installation process for Windows and all my apps my PC has rebooted at least 40-50 times and not once has the drive not been recognized by the motherboard.  This tells me that the issue was always with the OCZ drive, not my motherboard or settings.I cannot recommend this drive, but I 100% recommend switching to an SSD for your boot drive, and Samsung has my vote, so far.

    DO NOT RISK IT, likely to fail.
  

*by D***W on Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2012*

UPDATE:It's official! All three OCZ drives I have used are now all dead. That is just downright unacceptable for a piece of technology at this price. Wish my first failed early on so I didnt purchase more from OCZ. I have an intel that has outlasted all three OCZ's. OCZ has officially lost all of my business I dont care if its a cheap stick of RAM.First off I am very technical, I am not quick to pass judgement and believe I am very fair in reviewing a product. Unfortunately I am the owner or have owned 3 OCZ branded SDD's. To this date the only survivor is the first one i ever bought, a 32GB Core series. I purchased this 120GB Vertex 2 to run my operating system on a Win7 64 bit build and 1 year later it has failed. It failed in the middle of preparing my o=mortgage documents and I hadn't the chance to backup a few documents yet. These drives to not give warning, they just literally go out like a light. At least with a platter drive you can most likely pull it and recover data before it dies.Yes these drives are FAST but so are the ones from intel, crucail, kingston etc...One look at OCZ forums or these Amazon reviews shows a horrible fact that these drives fail constantly and more over OCZ refuses to acknowledge that they have put out a lemon product. They do not show remorse, they give condescending remarks to the consumer when they complain, and they simply say" send it back so we can send you a new one that will probably fail as well". And yes you must pay to ship it, and from what it looks like on their forums it is a lengthy process. In my complaint on their forum I was giving them my displeasure and with no restricted verbage or anything, they closed the thread and locked it. This company will not stand by its name and admit they have sold an expensive brick for the last two years. They simply and literally without remorse say :oh well, send it back".It just is not worth the time, money, and effort to use this drive for a few months or a year and then lose everyhting you didn't have a chance to back up, and that have to deal with these people to send it for a replacement. I have NEVER used a product that was so certain to fail. I wish I was reading this review now and not writing it. I bought it when it just came out. Spend the extra dime or two and go with an intel. You'll save yourself so many headaches down the road. Good luck,
