Another Indilinx infused solid state drive comes to our attention with OCZ’s Vertex Plus R2 Series. This SSD is a SATA II drive and has close resemblance to the company’s Onyx Series. Users can choose between capacities of 60 GB, 120 GB and 240 GB with each coming with a service warranty of three years. MTBF is listed at 1,500,000 hours and supported operating systems are Windows (XP/Vista/7) 32 and 64 bit, Mac OSX and Linux.
Performance of the drive, according to its datasheet, is at 255 MB/s for both sequential read and write and 22,000 and 12,000 for IOPS random 4k read and write respectively. NAND Flash used is a 2Xnm Asynchronous Multi-level Cell type managed by Indilinx’s Barefoot 2 controller. A DRAM cache of 128 MB is also present.
Data path protection is insured by Error Correcting Codes (ECC). The ECC can correct up to 44 random bits per 1KB of data. Meanwhile, encryption is done through 256 AES-compliant encryption with ATA security mode features. The Vertex Plus R2 series also supports TRIM and SMART.
