OCZ TECHNOLOGY 64GB SSD 2.5IN SATA III PETROL SERIES

None

1. Drive came without latest firmware ; 2., Drive very slow to format/configure ; 3. If you think SSD will give amazing speed...not with this drive ; 4. Drive crashed after 10 hours of use over 2 weeks ; 5. Cant return drive to newegg after claiming...

Fast, relatively inexpensive for the specs

Bought parts for two identical systems. The OCZ PETROL worked perfectly in one, and isn't recognized at all by the second. BIOS hangs for a long time trying to detect/access. Tried it another system too, same result. Out-of-box failure

Worked well before it crashed. Made it faster

It crashed after 2 days! I think this brand is not as good as the Corsair or the Crucial that I purchased before ; Warning: if you cut out the UPC for the rebate - you cannot return it to Newegg! Beware

Fast read low cost for ssd. The write speed is slower then other ssd's but i am getting 166mb/s so its within specs. I have always had standard 7200 rpm hard drives so these are a huge difference

make sure you update firmware before installing windows on to the device. Also with my sata cables that came with my motherboard they would keep coming loose from the drive. Something to do with the type of lock on them. They had a top lock instead of...

Inexpensive, easy set up

Bought one and set up was a breeze. Then dead after 7 days of operation. RMA and SSD #2 installed and updated lasted 6 days. Clearly there are serious reliablilty issues with this drive

It worked for a while and scored a 7.9 WEI on Windows 7

It started failing after a month. I'm a major OCZ SSD fan having purchased their Agility II and III lines and having no problems. I know what I'm doing and this is not a hardware issue related to motherboard, memory, chipset, etc. The Petrol was having...

Was really fast.. For a week

Started off with the drive freezing/Hard drive light on steady. Tested everything.. used Memtest, Changed power supplies (Let me add that I'm a computer tech). All components are brand new. Updated Firmware on the drive and installed fresh Win 7 64....

Rather inexpensive per GB. speedy

Failed on me after owning it for 40 days. Corrupted files galore

It works ; Seems fast ; This is my first SSD so I don't really have anything to compare it to. I bought it to house the OS and a few programs on a new build while everything else is on a HDD

None yet really ; 64GB fills up pretty quickly

Does thr typical functions of an SSD and as far as I know, it does it very well. Bought it for a computer that I built for my parents and it worked good from the first boot. Happy with my decision to go for this one

None that I know of
