OCZ Vertex 2 E Series 120GB Solid State Drive Review
 

With one of the largest introduction images I have posted in an article to date comes one of the biggest pricing reductions for the SSD market ever. Just a few days ago we told you that MyDigitalDiscount.com was selling the OCZ Vertex 2 100GB for 379.00 USD, a full 30 Dollars less than Newegg for this class leading next generation SandForce drive. Today OCZ is releasing their new updated 120GB Vertex 2, the Vertex 2 E (for Extended). At the same time, MyDigitalDiscount.com is offering breakthrough pricing on the new extended models, pricing them even lower than the original Vertex 2 drives for a limited time.

We worked with My Digital Discount and OCZ Technology to bring you the first review of the OCZ Vertex 2 E 120GB SandForce SSD. Over the last couple of days press releases have been hitting the tech news wire detailing the new extended capacity drives that are now being offered. Physically the drives are not changing as the same amount of flash on each drive will remain the same. The only real changes between a 100 and 120GB drive is the amount of flash kept in reserve, now 13% instead of 28%. Most other controllers up till now have used between 7 and 10% spare area, so the SandForce SF-1200 in extended capacity trim is still on the high side.
