Introduction
Always looking to push SSDs to the next level of performance, OCZ has rolled out their newest Vector line of SSDs. This is OCZ’s first major release that is completely captive, except for the NAND flash. According to OCZ; quality, reliability, and stability were the number one goal in mind when the Vector series was designed.
Armed with OCZ’s own in-house Indilinx Barefoot 3 controller and the promise of groundbreaking performance, we’ll run it through our suite of tests and find out first hand if it lives up to its advanced billing! I’m sure our readers are very familiar with the OCZ brand, so we won’t go into great detail here. Below is a small snippet about OCZ and what they are about.
