Vector 180 arrives in a small box which has depiction of the drive on the front and the capacity printed in the corner. Over on the rear of the box there is a listing of the fundamental features and some other details such as serial number should you need to get in contact with OCZ.


Inside the box there are just a few included items –

• Documentation: Acronis instructions, installation guide, warranty details
• 3.5” drive bracket with mounting screws



Conforming to the the standard size for an SSD, Vector 180 is 99.7 x 69.75 x 7mm. The front features OCZ’s new logo with the cyan and white lines. As would be expected there are screws holes in the side for mounting the drive into a bracket/computer case.

On the reverse there is a specifications label which contains the serial number, the standards and a QR code. Again, there are mounting holes on the underside for fitting the drive to different devices. Vector 180 uses SATA 3 (6GB/s) for its connectivity.

Inside and at the very heart of Vector 180 is the Barefoot 3 M00 controller and Toshiba A119 NAND flash. Vertex 180 also features enhanced reliability characteristics such as “Power Failure Management Plus”.
