OCZ has launched a new controller, the Indilinx Everest, which will power its new Octane line of SSDs. The company is looking to change the game by making SSDs bigger, faster, and cheaper all at the same time.
BenchmarkReviews.com: Nearly one year since acquiring well-known flash controller manufacturer Indilinx, OCZ has debuted their first storage product based on the Indilinx infused Everest platform with NDurance technology: welcome OCZ's Octane SSD. Offered in 1-terabyte capacities, the OCT1-25SAT3 series is designed to deliver optimized performance for mainstream users wanting to capitalize on near-instant solid state response times. OCZ Octane SSDs are good for up to 480MB/s read speeds over the latest SATA 6GB/s interface, and yield up to 35,000 Random Read IOPS. In this article Benchmark Reviews tests these specifications, and compares the OCZ Octane solid state drive to the leading competition.
SSDs: Crazy fast, low-powered, indestructible and… Tiny. Swapping your slow, spinning hard drive for a speedy solid state model is a great idea, unless you actually want to store something on your computer. Enter the new Octane range from OCZ, which comes in sizes of up to one terabyte.
I just bought an Agility 3 not that long ago. If I new OCZ was working on this series I may have waited the extra couple months.
I guess with all tech it is touch and go whether or not an updated version of the same item could come out.
