Sometimes I get a bit confused I guess.  As of Sunday, we started our Grand Birthday Mega SSD Giveaway Celebration and, to this point, the odds of winning our first SSD, a 512GB OCZ Vertex 4 are better than 1/150.  How do you go wrong with this? Has there even been a draw for a 512GB SSD prior?  We are …

This week marks the second anniversary of The SSD Review and we wanted to find a way to celebrate and thought giving away a few SSDs might be a good idea. Were we in for a shock?  The support we received in response to our request for ‘an SSD or two’ has been overwhelming and we think that, by the …

OCZ honed in on enterprise interests at Computex 2012 and that effort, along with their relocation from the Grand Hyatt to the Taipei International Convention Center, was proving to be an overwhelming success, as confirmed by Alex Mei, OCZ CMO. Of particular interest was the Intrepid 3, the  enterprise version of the Vertex 4 with the Everest 2 platform that …

Just over a month ago, OCZ released it’s new Vertex 4 6Gbps SSD which garnished industry praise as a result of it’s ability to handle highly incompressible data such as movies, photographs and music, however, many felt the V4 was a little conservative when testing in compressible data.

Our first visit to the OCZ Booth at CeBIT 2012 was a bit ‘rushed’ as we saw a flurry of first day guests invading the hangars as many companies were still fine tuning their displays. Such was the case with our visit to the OCZ booth which remains to be one of the busiest displays of the show.  We have …

Our first stop at CEBit 2012 in Hannover, Germany, was at the OCZ booth and were we in for a shock.  It wasn’t ten minutes since the doors opened and the crowd surrounding OCZ enterprise products was unbelievable.  So much for getting those early shots right? Hoping to be the first to visit the OCZ  booth, we think even they …

Some great things were shown at the OCZ display in the Aria Hotel in Las Vegas this week and none more interesting than OCZ’ casual mentioning that their new Everest 2 Platform SSD just may be the new Vertex 4. As much as OCZ and LSI SandForce have had a very tight relationship and we are certain this will continue …
