OCZ Vertex 2 EX Series solid state drive - 200 GB - SATA-300
OCZ Vertex 2 EX Solid State Drives are designed to provide the best of both worlds - exceptional performance with the latest cutting-edge technology paired with unparalleled reliability. Ideal for rigorous applications and workloads in an enterprise environment, the Vertex 2 EX uses Single-Level Cell (SLC) memory, which has ten times the program/erase (P/E) cycles than MLC-based drives, and features superb 4k random writes up to 50,000 IOPS to give a performance edge over the previous generation. With an emphasis on endurance, the Vertex 2 EX is an enterprise-class solution that utilizes a built-in super capacitor that acts as a temporary power backup in the event of sudden power loss, enabling the drive to complete its task, ensuring no data loss. Furthermore, Vertex 2 EX increases the longevity of NAND flash memory with intelligent block management and wear-leveling to extend endurance and overall reliability of the device. This feature automatically stores data in an AES-128 encrypted format to prevent data extraction to maintain security of confidential information, a necessity in an enterprise environment.
