  • OCZ leveraged the benefit of owning their own controller to quickly roll out an update to their Octane line of SSDs that optimized their performance for 4K writes. OCZ easily accomplished that goal, driving an increase of 138% in the 128GB model and a gai...

  • As we've said before and we'll continue to preach at any opportunity we get, the biggest bottleneck in modern systems is the traditional plattered hard drive; after using an SSD in your system you'll wonder how you ever survived without one previously....

  • I'm still trying to get my hands on smaller capacities of other newer SSDs to add them to our growing database of SSD performance data. For now it looks like the Octane is a good solution for typical desktop users, even at its 128GB capacity. Performance...

  • The Indilinx processor gives OCZ a huge advantage in both cost savings and SSD reliability. When we look at the smaller 128GB Octane compared to the 512GB bigger brother, the 128's read speeds actually hold up very well. Per the spec sheet though and ...

  • Now that OCZ has resurrected Indilinx with the Everest controller, the industry better take note because they've put together a splendid line of drives with Octane series and we get the feeling that they're just getting warmed up....

  • The encouraging fright factor is massive with the Octane series SSD, seriously once we popped it in to our test setup it just felt good in every way and sense. SandForce 2000 controllers haul ass in uncompressed files, Indilinx hauls ass when it comes to...
