Today we’ll have a look at OCZ’s Vertex 2 SSD. As the ‘2′ in the name implies it is of course a follow-up to the original Vertex, which was developed to tackle Intel’s then-new (but still very popular) X25-M drives. This time around, OCZ has teamed up with SandForce–a relatively new name in SSD technology [...]
The Agility series from OCZ was hailed as “the affordable alternative” when the drives came out about a year ago, with the 60GB version priced at $220. In that case it’s almost twice as affordable now, for $119.99 after a $50 price cut plus an additional $10 mail-in rebate. Note: This rebate expires 07/31/2010.
Granted, the [...]
OCZ is definitely one of the hottest players in the SSD marketplace with scores of models (and slight variations of models) on the market. The company is also very quick to introduce new technology. The latest announcement from OCZ is their new RevoDrive – a PCIe-based solid state drive that might actually find its way [...]
OCZ is an extremely fast-moving manufacturer when it comes to introducing new technology and more importantly new SSDs. And they are certainly not resting on their laurels – now they are about to hit the shelves with two new 1.8″ drives for ultrathin and ultra-everything laptops – including the likes of MacBook Air, Lenovo X301 [...]
The OCZ Enoy is an ultra-fast external SSD that uses USB3 to crush any and all competition based on conventional hard drives. For anyone with a need (or desire) for extremly fast external storage, the only alternatives are of course based on solid state drives. OCZ’s Enyo is available in 64GB, 128GB and 256GB capacities [...]
The Z-Drive R2 is a PCI Express-based SSDs and as such not really intended for the consumer market, which is also reflected in the exorbitant price tag. But the enterprise market is increasingly interested in this type of extreme high-end drive. OCZ Technology has now presented its fourth generation Z-series drives and on paper they [...]
The OCZ Agility 2 is the first solid-state drive with the fully developed version of the Sand Force firmware, according to the manufacturer. This apparently means that SandForce throttles the performance slightly compared to the SF-1200 controller when writing small files, but it also drives the price down compared to the SF-1500 based devices and [...]
OCZ’s new Agility series SSDs offer consistent performance at a very respectable price point. Although the IO rate is not sufficient for a server it could be just right if you’re looking for a workstation/laptop upgrade. We have tested an OCZ drive based on the less expensive MLC technology, which has developed significantly over the [...]
