With the OCZ VX500 series Toshiba has SSDs in their portfolio which offer convincing performance, maxing out the SATA interface. Apart from that there is MLC NAND flash memory and therefore endurance is on a very competitive level as well. Overall the OCZ VX500 could be an interesting drive and now we really want to know what this SSD is capable of.

The OCZ VX500 is a Toshiba SSD which has been built according to a proven concept. The drive is based on 19nm MLC NAND Flash and a TC358790 controller while – to our surprise – there is no DRAM chip. The enclosure has been made from thin sheet aluminum and the entire drive measures 7 millimeter in height. Toshiba equips every single chip on the SSD with thermal pads, which allows for effective heat dissipation, especially in combination with the aluminum casing. Apart from that the PCB with all the chips has been tightly screwed to the casing, ensuring good heat conductivity. A look at the portfolio of Toshiba OCZ VX500 drives shows that there is a 128 Gigabyte, a 256 Gigabyte, a 512 Gigabyte drive as well as a 1024 Gigabyte drive.
Checking the box for additional goodies, we find a free copy of Acronis cloning software included, which offers a simple way to upgrade from your old drive to your new OCZ VX500. Last but not least, Toshiba backs this drive up with a five year warranty plan, which is basically state-of-the-art in the case of MLC based SSDs of today.

Conclusion
Announcement: Despite the circumstance that the rating of a product is based on as many objective facts as possible there are factors which can have an influence on a rating after publication. Every autor may perceive data differently over time whereas one possible reason for example is a deeper background knowledge or understanding of certain processes. Certain unforseen market conditions as well as changes have the potential to render a descision made at a certain point in time obsolete.
With the OCZ VX500 Toshiba has a good SSD in its portfolio. What you get is a drive capable of maxing out the SATA interface specifications and apart from that it’s equipped with durable MLC NAND flash memory. Therefore the OCZ VX500 is perfectly capable of keeping up with the MLC SATA competition the market has to offer and furthermore the endurance is on an equally competitive level. Apart from that there is a five year warranty plan as well as a free copy of Acronis cloning software which is included in the delivery.
Having a more detailed look at the performance, we see that the OCZ VX500 does perfectly well in these tests. According to our measurements sequential throughputs are 524 MB/s in the case of writing and 539 MB/s when testing sequential read capabilities. Also regarding IOPS performance the OCZ VX500 does well, managing 77’900/93’900 random write/read IOPS. Looking at IOPS in the case of queue depth 1 we measured 34’400 regarding write and 4’900 regarding read. What we like was the strong sequential performance at QD1 which was 498/443 MB/s write/read.
Meanwhile it’s about time to start talking about the price. The OCZ VX500 is available with three different capacities: 128/256/512/1024 GB and these days the corresponding prices are 65/95/145/335 Euro. This means the price per gigabyte is 0.51/0.37/0.28/0.33 Euro respectively. Especially the 512 Gigabyte drive is well priced and therefore this would be the drive recommend talking about the OCZ VX500 lineup.
