Even I couldn't have a problem with these SSDs! :D I believe OCZ came out of its doldrums long ago and would be proud to own one of their drives.VulkanMan - Thursday, April 13, 2017 - link
The VX500 is stellar, no issues at all with these units.Haven't tried the other ones, but, I see no reason why they wouldn't be just as good.
This is not the OCZ of the past, Toshiba has really turned things around for them.
