OCZ brings 20nm process NAND to the Vertex series with the release of the Vertex 450. The Vertex 450 paired the 20nm NAND with Indilinx Barefoot 3 M10 Series controller. The drive has a rated 540 MB/s read, 530 MB/s write, and 4K random write of up to 90,000 IOPS. Think the Vertex 450 is the Vertex 4 with a shrinked NAND and we got the Vertex 450. However, OCZ has tweaked the new controller to add support for AES-256 encryption and power-optimized clock. The Vertex 450 will be available in storage from 128GB to 512GB and will carry 3 year warranty.
