OCZ Octane SSD (1TB)

Powered by the new Indilinx Everest controller, the OCZ Octane SSD is supposed to be different from other recent solid-state drives that use the well-established SandForce controller. However, chances are you'll find it exactly the same as any other...

The OCZ Octane SSD offers a large amount of storage at a relatively low price. The drive supports SATA 3 (6Gbps), performs very well, has up to 1TB of storage space, and works with all popular platforms, including Windows, Mac OS, and Linux.

The OCZ Octane SSD is comparatively slower in terms of data transfer speed than other SATA 3-based solid-state drives. The drive is significantly more expensive than traditional hard drives of the same capacity.

The OCZ Octane SSD makes an excellent host drive for any laptop or desktop. It offers great value in terms of performance and cost, especially for an SSD.

OCZ Agility 2 50Gb SSD

While OCZ is mostly known for their high performance ram modules, they are fast becoming a force to reckon with in the SSD game. The first generation Agility and Vertex series were such a huge hit that OCZ decided to give us an encore. So sit back,...

This was my second SSD review and just like the first one, I am duly impressed. The speed increase in Photoshop alone would justify the $200+ price tag that accompanies the Agility 2 line. There is only one con I feel I should list, and it is not a...

OCZ Agility 2 Extended 60GB Review

This drive utilizes the SF-1200 controller, includes the consumer level firmware and is part of their value oriented lineup. This all allows the Agility 2 to offer users a high level of performance, but with a $169.00 price tag fit more for the...

The SF-1200 controller is quite the amazing product. It offers extremely fast read and write performance, little to no write amplification and has better small write performance than other consumer based controller currently on the market. All of this...

OCZ Agility2 60GB SSD review

Today will examine the Agility 2, a new 60GB SSD model that promises to deliver high performance while maintaining an affordable storage solution.

We almost forgot to mention that OCZ's Vertex 2 series is also based on the same system and a special firmware allows up to 40K IOPS! However, you will have to spend more for a Vertex 2 SSD. Being among the the cheapest 60GB SandForce-based drive...

OCZ Agility 2 Solid State Drive Review

Save your money, it's not time to upgrade to a new laptop, it's time for OCZ's Agility 2 Solid State Drive. The performance boost after installing OCZ's 100gb SSD into my Macbook was astronomical. Spinning hard drives should already be a thing of the...

Fast, quiet, cool, more durable and energy efficient ; Bad: Cost per gigabyte is much higher than that of traditional hard drives

Cost per gigabyte is much higher than that of traditional hard drives

The performance boost using OCZ’s Agility 2 Solid State Drive versus your regular HDD is night and day. Your computer will run much faster, cooler and quieter. Since it’s much more efficient on energy you will get more usage out of a single battery...

OCZ Solid 2 - Bjorn3D.com

Externally, it would be hard to tell much of a difference between USB 2.0 and 3.0 as the connector on your system (Type A) looks virtually identical. One thing that you can tell USB 3.0 apart from the older port is that it is often blue as the...

TRIM support ; Good sequential read and write ; Relatively cheap ; 3 year warranty

Random read and write still lags behind Intel controller drives

The OCZ Solid 2 proves to be a very good SSD with its Indilinx controller that offers a balanced performance to price ratio. For this, we award it our coveted Silver Award.
