The OCZ Octane SSD is comparatively slower in terms of data transfer speed than other SATA 3-based solid-state drives. The drive is significantly more expensive than traditional hard drives of the same capacity
The results from today's re-test of the OCZ Octane 512GB drive really weren't what I expected to see when I started. I hoped that some of the magic OCZ found for Everest II would somehow start to appear in Octane's Everest controller, but the magi...
