Power Consumption
As expected, power consumption is also on-par with the Vector 150. The difference to Vertex 450 is surprisingly big, actually, as the Vertex 460 draws more than a watt less under load, so the difference in clock speeds may be having an impact here. I'm still a bit disappointed that OCZ hasn't implemented any support for low power states (HIPM+DIPM and DevSleep).

Thanks, fixed!Per Hansson - Thursday, January 23, 2014 - link
It's mind boggling why Toshiba would like to keep the name OCZ.I actually thought OCZ had improved since the debacles of the old Vertex drives, but then I found this:
http://www.hardware.fr/articles/893-7/ssd.html
http://www.hardware.fr/articles/911-7/ssd.html
40 > 50% failure rate on the Petrol & Octane series SSD's
10% on Agility 4
And then even more troubling from the following article:
OCZ Vector with 9 to 11% failure rate
No thank you

Was the SanDisk Extreme II 480GB really only $300 two days ago? Showing $450 at the moment :(FalcomPSX - Thursday, January 23, 2014 - link
you couldn't pay me to use an OCZ product again. i've lost 4 vertex 2 ssd's due to random failures, and although they covered it under warranty each time(yes i bought one drive, died 4 times) its not worth the hassle or risk of data loss, especially when that risk of data loss isn't a question of IF it will fail, but only a question of WHEN it will fail.mattgmann - Thursday, January 23, 2014 - link
I'd love to see some SSD comparison/ranking charts. There's such a wide variety of makes/controllers out there these days that it's getting too hard to keep track of the best performance/dollar, reliability/dollar or best drive/specific use.Plus, we all like rankings...right?

Why does the clear Storage Bench champion according to this page, 840 EVO mSATA, have 322.9 MB/s data rate on this page but only 261.5MB/s on its own review page on Jan 9, 2014??Kristian Vättö - Sunday, January 26, 2014 - link
When I first generated the graphs, our Bench had the old value (322.9MB/s) in it. I manually updated the graph with the newer and more reasonable 261.5MB/s result but for some reason the actual graph wasn't updated. It's fixed now!arehaas - Sunday, January 26, 2014 - link
Thank you for the quick reply. It will help me to select components for upgrading my laptop.jeff420 - Thursday, January 28, 2016 - link
These is a beast. I have this for awhile now and can't complain.Jeff @ http://www.audiospeakerworld.com
