I had three OCZ SSDs - a Vertex 2 and two Vertex 3s. One lasted a month and a half; the others lasted a month. It's surprising that Toshiba would want to be associated with this brand.
- jotm 11y agoYep, those Vertexes turned OCZ into a joke (for me, at least). They fail as fast as they write :-). Intel and Samsung drives from the same generation just keep going...
- wtallis 11y agoOCZ basically did the beta testing for SandForce, and paid the price with their eventual bankruptcy. But by then they had acquired Indilinx to provide an in-house alternative to SandForce controllers, and that's a significant chunk of what Toshiba was interested in buying. Winning in the SSD market seems to require making your own controller and/or flash, and there's only one good source for buying a good high-performance controller on the open market (Marvell).

When I bought it, I didn't know that OCZ was particularly unreliable, just that SSDs in general were unreliable. http://blog.codinghorror.com/the-hot-crazy-solid-state-drive-scale/ http://blog.codinghorror.com/the-hot-crazy-solid-state-drive...
