Solid-state drives are fast by definition, but OCZ Technology Group's new Vertex Limited Edition (LE) is something special: Not only is it the company's fastest multilevel cell (MLC) flash drive to date, but it'll be available for only a brief time.
Designed for the most demanding applications, the Vertex LE delivers transfer rates of up to 270MB/sec read and 250MB/sec write and reaches 15,000 IOPS (4K random write), promoting excellent throughput and ultra-responsive performance. The SATA 3Gb/sec 2.5-inch drive is offered in 100GB and 200GB capacities and includes Windows 7 TRIM support to optimize performance over the SSD's lifespan.
OCZ will offer Vertex LE through its network of distribution partners over the next few weeks. Prices have not been announced.
