  • Abstract:  Since OCZ has bought Indilinx we haven't heard a lot about Indilinx and their SSD controllers up to the moment when they released the Octane. Some time ago OCZ sent us their 512 Gigabyte version of the Octane and now they provided a sample of their 1 Tera...

  • Abstract:  Do you want the best performance from your SSD all of the time, regardless of workload? Drives with Marvell's controller technology should be on your short list. We put seven of them through the paces and discover lots of speed at each capacity point. ...

  • When I first looked at the Octane 512GB drive in December I was impressed with the Indilinx Controller. It delivered great results with both incompressible and compressible data and my viewpoint hasn't changed any in the last two months.Sandforce have rul...

  • Abstract:  What? A performance SSD from OCZ not based on SandForce's tech? The new Octane SSD features an Indilinx controller. Does OCZ rectify the controller company's past mistakes, or does it need more time to marinate? The truth lies somewhere in the middle. ...

  • Starting with the build quality of the Octane drive we have a product which scores well. The top half of the drive is a solid feeling plastic with the base using brushed metal. The combination means that the internal components are in no danger of bec...
