Reasonably speedy large-file read and write speeds, Same Barefoot controller as pricier Vertex 460
Crucial's MX100 drive costs a little less and delivers better performance overall, No 1TB model, Fewer in-box niceties than previous OCZ drives
OCZ's latest budget-minded SSD is competitively priced and comes with a new type of warranty, but other drives that cost just a little less deliver better overall performance. Read More…...
Good and consistent performance, Price, 3 year ShieldPlus warranty, Sticker on the drive makes it stand out
No accessory bundle
When it comes down to it this is not the fastest solid state drive out there, but it is not designed to be. As I mentioned in the introduction of this review this drive is more of a value-oriented drive and its price reflects that, but let's not take awa...

Overall, the ARC 100 delivers good performance especially at higher I/O requests. The drive may not be the fastest on the market for every single workload but it is no slouch either. It delivers more than acceptable performance for its price. We do lo...
Available in 120GB, 240GB and 480GB capacities, Good sequential and random read and write performance, Performs equally well with compressible and incompressible data, SATA 6Gb/s interface, Toggle Mode MLC NAND flash, Large DRAM cache, Supports TRIM and i
Random write performance at low queue depths could be better, Does not support DEVSLP, Does not support TCG Opal or eDrive encryption
OCZ's ARC 100 SSD is an excellent choice for the cost-conscious consumer looking to upgrade their storage to a faster or higher capacity solution. Powered by the same Indilinx-infused Barefoot 3 M10 controller as the Vertex 460, the ARC 100 uses Toshiba's...

OCZ returning to the mainstream segment is an interesting development to say the least, and its importance should not be underestimated. One needs to keep in mind that OCZ did not drop out of the this particular segment due to their products lacking per...

The ARC 100 provides what I expected it to do, which is its strength and weakness. The Barefoot 3 platform does provide excellent performance consistency and it has proven to be reliable over the last two years, but the performance in lighter workloads is...

Although the OCZ ARC 100's peak speeds do not saturate the SATA 6Gb/s bus, it achieves what it was designed for; it is an entry level SSD at a value price point....

The OCZ ARC 100 240GB (1GB byte = 1,000,000,000 bytes) drive yields 223GiB (1Gib = 1,073,741,824 bytes) available to the user as reported by Windows. This is typical for a drive of this capacity after the spare area and Windows takes their share. So no...
Before we weigh in with our final verdict, we'll bust out a few of our famous value scatter plots. These plots use an overall performance score compared against a common baseline. This score is based on a subset of the performance data from our full suit...
The ARC 100 series has been released in a market where a rule, more for less applies. Stringent competition required companies to make compromises. OCZ has been doing exactly that, making compromises. But not in the overall build quality. The ARC 100 ser...
