This day has been a long time coming for OCZ and they have finally reached their goal of an in-house controller. Not only has OCZ accomplished this feat they have on their hands possibly the fastest consumer FPU ever made. OCZ is struggling financially...

The OCZ Vector is a top-performing SSD that brings stability and support advantages to the table as well, thanks to OCZ's in-house controller and firmware package. Over time there should be cost savings too, which gives consumers a compelling alternative...

The OCZ Vector astonished me with its throughput, sheer IOPS performance, and low latency. Tackling the challenges of in-house production has definitely paid off for them. Provided the price remains as low as OCZ promises, I will be recommending the V...
With the Vector, OCZ has built a price and performance competitor to Samsung's SSD 840 Pro, which previously remained peerless at the top of our charts. For a company that just weeks ago was considered down and out for the count, this is beyond impressive...
OCZ has finally reached the finish line in its quest for building its own controller, and it delivers excellent performance across the board in the OCZ Vector SSD. The Barefoot 3 controller is designed to perform well in steady state and delivers on that...

It's not July 4th, but OCZ has reason enough to celebrate. Barefoot 3 is the company's first controller developed in-house. Aside from the NAND, which is still sourced from IMFT, everything else that goes into the Vector SSD comes from OCZ and its acquisi...
