I wasn't aware of it before reading into this whole story, but OCZ seemed to have quite a problem with QA. My vertex 2 barely lasted a year before it started going funny, which I put down to bad luck. But now it seems I wasn't the only one.
- fletchowns 13y agoThey are notorious for pushing out low quality products. You really should be a more informed consumer before you buy stuff, it's not like it takes a long time to research this kind of stuff.
- vacri 13y agoAt the consumer level, it is quite difficult to research a lot of this kind of thing. There is so much contradictory information out there on almost every product, and trying to ferret out the right information can be a gruelling task. Go to a few review sites, have the reviews say "OCZ looks fast and good", go away with a good impression. You have to look elsewhere - on forums and the like, all of which are highly variant in quality - to get information about long-term performance. It's compounded when you have a new player or new product lines. Here in this very thread, it has several people saying "OCZ is great".
- tanzam75 13y agoWell, Newegg at least makes it possible to distinguish an OCZ from an Intel/Samsung. When an OCZ drive has 3-stars and 30% of them are 1-star reviews, then you know something is wrong, compared to the Intel drive that has 4.5-stars with only 5% being 1-star. It's in the finer gradations that it gets murky. Is a 4.5-star drive really better than a 4-star drive?
