The Vertex 460 is OCZ's answer to the likes of Samsung's EVO, Crucial's M500 and Kingston's own HyperX 3K lineup. This means it is being parachuted into an overly crowded segment so positioning will be the only thing to differentiate it from the countless alternatives. With that being said, the 460 isn't an extreme performance drive by any stretch of the imagination but it does target those who want excellent bandwidth and good capacity without spending a fortune. Basically, this is an ?everyone's? SSD with aspirations of offering more than the competition.

The last few months have been a rollercoaster ride for OCZ. What looked like complete insolvency and the possible death of a storied brand name became a success story as industry heavyweight Toshiba swooped in to right the sinking ship. This has led to a rapid transformation at a corporate level but it has also resurrected everyone's confidence in OCZ, their drives and, most importantly, their ongoing support for anyone who purchased their drives.
