The Bottom Line The OCZ Octane SSD makes an excellent host drive for any laptop or desktop. It offers great value in terms of performance and cost, especially for an SSD. The Samsung 840 series is an excellent entry-level solid-state drive for budget and general users, but not really a good buy for advanced or professional users. The OCZ Vector Series SSD would make a great investment for those moving on from using a hard drive as the main drive of their system. The OCZ Vector Series SSD would make a great investment for those moving on from using a hard drive as the main drive of their system. The Corsair Neutron GTX is one of the best solid-state drives on the market, especially for those who want top performance from their ultrathin portable computer.
