Even despite the guise of "value" branding, the OCZSSD64GB SSD appearance certainly tries to convince you otherwise. The Alloy case with brushed finish is well beyond the plastic card case I've seen the competition using. It can look expensive, and it does, but thankfully the price tag is nowhere near the competition's level.

Construction is probably the strongest feature credited to the OCZ 64GB SATA SSD. Solid State Disks are by nature immune to most abuses, but add to this a hard shell and you have to wonder what it would take to make this drive fail. Keep wondering, because I'm not in a position to wreck one of these just yet.

Random access times were not among the best for all Solid State Disks we've tested, but at 0.23 ms the reaction is a full magnitude faster than spindle disks. Additionally, the linear read speed was comparable to most standard notebook hard disk drives, but (presently) as with all SSD's the buffered read speed is still well beneath HDD's. Until the SATA-II generation of SSD's becomes more than an empty press release (which is opposite of OCZ's common practice), we will have to wait for another day to have the functionality stalemate resolved.
