  • Abstract:  What? A performance SSD from OCZ not based on SandForce's tech? The new Octane SSD features an Indilinx controller. Does OCZ rectify the controller company's past mistakes, or does it need more time to marinate? The truth lies somewhere in the middle. ...

  • great all round performance, high incompressible data throughput, very competitive price point, high reliability and long life,
  • Stiff competition from other ‘non Sandforce' drives such as the Samsung 830 and Corsair Performance Pro Series, Kitguru says: We hope to see more drives using this controller over the coming months. It is a fine alternative to Sandforce 2281 powered solut
  • The re-adoption of the Indilinx Everest controller has been seen as a positive move for OCZ Technologies. Sandforce have had their fair share of reliability issues in recent months, and the demand for high performance alternatives is as strong as ever. Th...

  • Starting with the build quality of the Octane drive we have a product which scores well. The top half of the drive is a solid feeling plastic with the base using brushed metal. The combination means that the internal components are in no danger of bec...

  • The few days of working with the Octane drive had left us with mixed feelings. The Octane 512GB drive is a very well made product, fitting for everyday use in an enthusiast’s system. With the use of high quality Intel synchronous NAND flash memory chip...

  • Interfaz SATA 6 Gbps, Bajo consumo, calor generado y ruido, Alta tasa de lectura, Precio ajustado
  • La tasa de escritura podría mejorar respecto a la de lectura,
  • No nos cabía la menor duda de que el OCZ Octane daría un buen resultado en general. Hay que decir que aunque los resultados son excelentes, hay una gran diferencia entre las tasas de lectura y de escritura. Aunque la escritura se queda en los límites...

  • Le premier SSD avec contrôleur Indilinx de chez OCZ est impressionnant. Les donénes incompressibles sont bien plus rapides.Mais avec son prix, (770 - 1000 Euros), la version 512 Go est un peu trop haut de gamme. Les modèles avec moins de capacité sont ...
