Will the OCZ Octane blow the Vertex 2 out of the water? What about the Vertex 3? How does the Vertex 3 compare with the Octane and which one would be better for gaming? Have a Vertex 2 and I’m looking to upgrade. I’ll keep Norton, Itunes, and WoW on my Vertex 2 but transfer Windows 7 and some games to the Vertex 3 or the Octane depending on which is better.

Been a rocky ride for OCZ on the Nasdaq. Their stock plummeted 50% in July on the back of their sandforce 228x fiasco, and its only recovered to half its previous height based on the purchase of Indilinx.

I’d like to see their rates of return, pretty much the worst in the SSD industry, show any improvements before putting my money in.

In reply to Guest. believe it or not, OCZ stock has not increased much size they were listed on nasdaq. OCZ was previously listed on the AIM and it lost about 85% of its value, it was then listed on the nasdaq and initially lost about 60-70% of its value. it currently trades about 35-40% higher then its initial listing on nasdaq but its been an interesting stock to watch - its market cap and prospects should earn the company a higher valuation, but its history has been so rocky that the short interest is equal to almost 40% of all shares out.

Man I wish I had bought about $20k or so of Ocz when they first went public. I heard that their announcement of the Indilinx Everest caused a rather healthy jump in the stock value. Now that the top competitor for enterprise pci-e solutions, LSI, just bought SandForce. This is gonna make LSI that much more cost competitive. Ocz will now have to maintain their ‘A’ game in the enterprise market side of things going up against LSI and Fusion IO to name a few. I do wish that Ocz could have afforded to buy SF but I also think their purchase of Indilinx will be paying huge dividends even beyond the new Everest controller (i.e. Octane).
