Editor:- March 25, 2013 - OCZ designs and makes
one of the
largest
ranges of SSDs available in the industry in a variety form factors and
interfaces (including PCIe, SAS and SATA). OCZ's SSDs use
SSD controllers from a
variety of sources - including its own designs. The info on this page shows only
an outline of the company's 2.5" SAS SSDs. OCZ's web site can be
confusing because of the way that consumer and enterprise SSDs are mixed up in
some of the same overview pages. A useful starting point for navigation is
OCZ's enterprise SSD page.

review
of OCZ Talos 2 SAS SSD - on StorageReview.com
A note on
terminology:- many other publications blab on about "enterprise SAS SSDs".
In fact all SAS SSDs (in the current state of the SSD market) are enterprise
SSDs. So the prefix "enterprise" - in front of SAS - is a tautology.
A
note on SSD software:-
the apps performance which you can leverage from SSDs nowadays is no longer
simply dependent on the internal characteristics of the SSD. You can get very
useful leverage and flexibility by also looking at what virtualization and
caching support is also available.
In the past 2 years OCZ has
acquired and integrated enterprise related software and interface IP from
several companies. (For details see the
SSD acquisitions
page on StorageSearch.com.) The result is an industry leading capability
from OCZ which is branded under various product names such as VXL. For more info
see OCZ's
software overview page. |
