I just picked up a 256gb Vertex 4 and the boost in speed over my Corsair Force GT 120gb is astonishing. They seem to have all the bugs worked outwith the latest v1.5 firmware.

We reviewed a Vertex3 240GB
http://www.benchx.com/web/?p=2351
I've a Vertex4 128GB to bench now, sadly OCZ didn't approve a long time review, because I really want to throw a hard time in to vertex 4 and see how it would handle it.

OCZ Vertex 4 128GB
http://www.benchx.com/web/?p=3082&lang=en
Interesting enough we found the 50% full hit to be small.
I think they might have tweaked the latest fw to improve it in that area.
http://www.ocztechnology.com/files/s...s_Vertex_4.pdf
'Best Bang For The Buck' Build - CM Storm Sniper - CM V8 GTS HSF
2500K @ 4.5GHz 24/7 - Asus P8Z68-V Pro Gen3 - GSkill 2x4GB DDR3-2400 C10
Sapphire Vapor-X 7770 OC Edition - PC Power & Cooling Silencer MkIII 600W
Boot: 2x 64GB SuperSSpeed S301 SLC Raid 0 Work: Intel 520 120GB
Storage: Crucial M500 1TB - Ocz Vertex 4 128GB - 4x 50GB Ocz Vertex 2
HDDs: 2 x 1TB WD RE4 Raid0 - Ext.Backup: 2 x 1.5TB WD Blacks Raid 1
Actually, it isn't 50% of drive full that causes performance degredation, it is when you use more then 50% of the free space on the drive in one hit.
To acheive the high write performance it does, the drive only writes the first bit to each NAND cell. This is a lot faster then writing both bits, but consumes a lot of space. Behind the scenes, the vertex 4 works hard to compact the data you have written to the drive to use both bits and clear the space for new writes.
If you work the drive too hard too quickly, by using more then half the currently free space without any idle time for the drive to perform its internal compaction routines, the drive will change dramaticly slow down in writes (by 70-80% or so) as it has to start programing the second bit of each cell while you wait, until you either idle it or free space up using TRIM.
