OCZ Apex 120GB SSD Review

Packaging and Accessories

The box which our Apex drive came in was in many ways similar to the G. Skill Titan box. In a nut shell its thick enough to provide adequate protection for the tiny drive within yet doesn’t take up all that much space on your desk.

Taking a closer look at the box, the very first thing you will notice is the funky orange colour scheme. It certainly stands out, and with all the information on the box it certainly is more than adequate. Whether you like orange boxes or not, there is no arguing that this one is distinctive and the color helps it stand out from the crowd.


While the front of the box is predominantly taken up by a picture of the Apex itself, the back reads more like a sales pitch than anything. This is not a complaint, as anyone who wants to find out more about these drives just needs to flip it over and read short blurb about the technology's highlights. As we said, this box is designed for the retail sector and it shows.


When you slide the internal package out of the cardboard box in which it resides, you are greeted to a protection scheme very much like the Titan’s; albeit with a thinner profile. As with the Titan, you flip a top cover panel over to reveal a book-like high density foam container with the Apex drive snuggled up in the middle. As with the Titan we like it and think it is easily one of the best ways of not only protecting the Apex drive, but doing it with a touch of class.


As it becoming a reoccurring theme, this Solid State Drive comes with no accessories other than a pamphlet. ! At the very least we think they should have included in the pamphlet a list of URLs for the various (and very useful) How To tweaking guides which are on their own forum.
