- duskwuff 10y agoSurprisingly, it looks like you might be able to: http://crz-mart.com/shop/shopdetail.html?branduid=1914659&xcode=003&mcode=002&scode=&type=X&sort=order&cur_code=003002&GfDT=bmp6W1w%3D http://crz-mart.com/shop/shopdetail.html?branduid=1914659&xc... The price is equivalent to about $2000 USD, though, and the controller is completely obsolete nowadays. (I'd be surprised if the Barefoot controller is still in production; it's SATA2 only, and OCZ - parent company of Indilinx - went bankrupt in 2014.)
- danielvinson 10y agoOCZ was for the most part bought by Toshiba. I'm not sure how public this is, but there were many more Barefoot controllers made and tested and a number of the later-generation OCZ drives were based on a much newer Barefoot-based controller.
- wtallis 10y agoI think the later Barefoot controllers were public enough, with the two different speed grades of Barefoot 3 being used in the OCZ Arc 100 and Vector 180 (which still exists as the VT180): http://www.anandtech.com/show/9009/ocz-vector-180-240gb-480gb-960gb-ssd-review http://www.anandtech.com/show/9009/ocz-vector-180-240gb-480g... But it's a dead end and last I heard Toshiba doesn't plan on doing another revision of the silicon to update it with anything like support for SATA link power saving modes.
