OCZ today released the latest addition to their premium Vertex solid state drive series, the Vertex Turbo Edition. Enabled by a proprietary firmware and 64MB of 180MHz DRAM cache, the OCZ Vertex Turbo Edition ramps up performance levels to new heights, while providing the snappy computing, longer battery life, and shorter boot-ups users have enjoyed from the original. The OCZ Vertex Turbo delivers best-in-class read and write speeds clocking in at up to 270MB/s read and 210MB/s write along with the lower power consumption and superior durability compared to conventional hard drives.

The Vertex Turbo Series maximizes the potential for ultimate productivity and state-of-the-art computing experience, by increasing both the host clock-speed and the SDR DRAM Cache to 180MHz versus 166MHz on the original series and is available in capacities of 30GB (32), 60GB (64), 120GB (128), and 250GB (256).
