Product showcase

The following images were taken at high-resolution and then cropped and scaled down. The camera used was a Canon DSLR shooting 12 MegaPixel photo's. Right then, above packaging. The sample OCZ submitted comes as a 240 GB package. Performance is listed at 550MB/s read and 530MB/s writes with 95,000 IOPS at 4k random write aligned disk access with our tested model.


This is the 2.5" SATA III 240 GB version all packaged up in the bundle. You should easily be able to place it somewhere in your chassis. Small and light-weight. The SSD supports TRIM making sure your SSD will regain its speed once in idle.
