Specifications
What is the difference between the original OCZ Solid and its new variant, one may ask? The biggest difference is the controller card, which has changed from the Jmicron controller (on the original OCZ Solid) to the Indilinx controller (on the reviewed Solid 2) This difference will be explored more in depth later in the review.

Once again it is a good sign to see that OCZ have seen fit to change form the much criticized J-Micron controller to the Indilinx model! However what is most interesting is the TRIM support right out of the box, unlike the first OCZ Solid! Trim (loosely put) helps to maintain a drives performance, even if the same cell is or has been written over.
Box packaging and presentation
The packaging of the OCZ Solid two drive is well thought of; indeed some of the box artwork reminds this reviewer of the colours used upon the blades of a Noctua fan! Though this is subject to taste, it is somewhat offset by the glittering chrome and silver used in the box presentation.

If one looks carefully at the packaging, then one will notice a slight ‘shimmer’ effect to the box artwork. A nice touch indeed! In addition the inside foam packaging does the job of protecting the hardware against bumps and scrapes. This is very handy if you have a clumsy delivery service, and given the weight of the drive the whole packaging is of excellent quality. Having said this, the packaging on any solid state drive is of a minimalist nature.
