While we'd hoped for a return to form for Indilinx, its new Everest drive controller lags behind the competition when it comes to performance. The new v1.13 firmware sees the OCZ Octane 512GB deliver sequential and random speeds notably slower than those...
OCZ leveraged the benefit of owning their own controller to quickly roll out an update to their Octane line of SSDs that optimized their performance for 4K writes. OCZ easily accomplished that goal, driving an increase of 138% in the 128GB model and a gai...

The first SSD with Indilinx Controller after it was bought by OCZ is impressive. The performance convinces and is top in many categories. Just the 4K write performance could be better. Poorly compressible data are no problem for the Octane - contrary to c...

Now that OCZ has resurrected Indilinx with the Everest controller, the industry better take note because they've put together a splendid line of drives with Octane series and we get the feeling that they're just getting warmed up....
The encouraging fright factor is massive with the Octane series SSD, seriously once we popped it in to our test setup it just felt good in every way and sense. SandForce 2000 controllers haul ass in uncompressed files, Indilinx hauls ass when it comes to...
