Nearly one year since acquiring well-know flash controller manufacturer Indilinx, OCZ has debuted their first storage productbased on the Indilinx infused Everest platform with NDurance technology: welcome OCZ's Octane SSD. Offered in 1-terabyte capacities, the OCT1-25SAT3 series is designed to deliver optimized performance for mainstream users wanting to capitalize on near-instant solid state response times. OCZ Octane SSDs are good for up to 480MB/s read speeds over the latest SATA 6GB/s interface, and yield up to 35,000 Random Read IOPS. In this article Benchmark Reviews tests these specifications, and compares the OCZ Octane solid state drive to the leading competition.
Our review today will be a long awaited look at the OCZ Octane 6Gbps 512GB SSD. Eight months ago, OCZ bought Indilinx with full intention of spreading their wings in the development of their own proprietary controller based on the Indlinx Everest design. OCZ has spoken of higher incompressible data performance, quicker disk access as well as better sustained write performance in a consumer driven SSD that will be immediately available in capacities up to 1TB.
We have reviewed many OCZ solid state drives in the last year and today we are looking at their latest Octane 512GB model. There is no doubt that OCZ have been at the forefront of SSD development in the last year, focusing almost exclusively on Sandforce based products. For those of you who have been around as long as me however, you may remember that OCZ were the first company to partner up with Indilinx and today they reaffirm that union by including an Indilinx Everest controller in the Octane drive.
APH Networks reviews the epic large 512GB SSD from OCZ. Is it as awesome as its capacity suggests?
OCZ are back with yet another model in their SSD family and this time we see the results of using a controller which is based on Indilinx technology, something which hasn't really been present in high end drives for some time now. We'll be putting the Octane SSD through a selection of tests including real world and synthetic to see how it compares to models using the latest Samsung, Marvell and Sandforce controllers.
OCZ forges their own path again with their homebrew Indilinx Everest controller featured in their new line of Octane drives. With up to 1TB of storage and read write specifications of up to 560MB/s and 400MB/s, will OCZ shake up the market and take the title of top SSD? Read on to see how this SATA 6Gbps Solid State Drive does on the benchmarks!
"Der seinerzeit eigentliche „Durchbruch“ von Festspeichern, besser gesagt SSDs, dürfte zum großen Teil das Werk der Chipschmiede Indilinx sein. Diese entwickelte einer der ersten massentauglichen SSD-Controller und trug so maßgeblich zum rasanten Aufstieg der SSDs bei. Wie so oft gibt es aber immer ein "danach" und so kam wie es kommen musste, Indilinx wurde vom amerikanischen Storage-Spezialisten OCZ aufgekauft, welcher bekannter Maßen SandForce-Controller in den SSDs verbaut. Die nun vorliegende OCZ Octane kommt erstmalig mit einem Indilinx-Controller daher und soll künftig das Preis-Leistungsgefüge, zum Wohlwollen des Kunden, durcheinander wirbeln. Wie sich der designierte Preis-Leistungskönig im Praxistest schlug, klärt der nachfolgende Testbericht."
Die OCZ Octane ist das erste Solid State Drive auf Basis des neuen „Everest“-Controllers von Indilinx. Im eigenen Produktportfolio ordnet OCZ die SSDs dem High-Performance-Segment zu, wenn auch unterhalb der Vertex 3 mit SandForce-Controller. Doch was leistet der Nachfolger des einst so populären „Barefoot“-Controllers von Indilinx?
The new firmware really improves the performance of the Vertex 4 128 and causes a moderate improvement for the 256 GB version. Writing large files on the Vertex 128 GB now goes twice as fast, and 25 percent faster on the Vertex 4 256 GB. You will actually notice this increase when using the SSDs. In other areas the improvements are less drastic, which makes the average look less impressive. If you own a Vertex 4 128 GB or 256 GB then we definitely recommend installing the new firmware. Do remember to make a back-up first, for example with Ghost, otherwise you will lose all your data.
Storage
It's been close to two years since we last took a look at a SDHC (Secure Digital High Capacity) memory card. At that time, SDHC was just beginning to be implemented into consumer devices and thus, support was pretty scarce. Like any new technology, it was only a matter of time before it caught on with the masses. Fast-forward to today, where SDHC has made a successful transition, effectively replacing the older SD format and has become the most popular memory card format. Capacity has also increased, with SDHC cards currently available up to 32GB in size. Today we will be taking a look at a slightly smaller card in the OCZ Gold Series 8GB SDHC Memory Card.
