The OCZ Vertex 3.20 120GB SSD arrives in a clear plastic container highlighting the product underneath. We wouldn't say this packaging offers a great deal of heavy duty security, but the SSD itself is protected inside the 2.5 inch chassis.

Not much of a bundle, just a little installation leaflet.

The Vertex 3.20 120GB SSD ships in a black 2.5 inch chassis with the name of the product clearly listed on the front. The rear of the case details the exact product name and specifications.

The drive measures 99.8 x 69.63 x 9.3mm and weighs 83g.

The Vertex 3.20 120GB SSD we received is rated at 550 MB/s sequential read and 520 MB/s sequential write. OCZ say the drive can hit 20,000 IOPS in a 4K random read test and 40,000 IOPS in a 4K random write test.

The 120GB Vertex 3 3.20 uses sixteen NAND flash chips, eight on each side. Obviously this is all under command of the SF-2281 controller. This product is using 20nm Intel Flash.
