| Re: News - OCZ adds to value-orientated SSDs with Solid 2 series £60 for the 128GB drive?...Might do that. No ball? don't care, watch your ssds become worthless within 2 months  ..oh, I meant..keep em coming! (That'll prove my theory even faster!) |

| Re: News - OCZ adds to value-orientated SSDs with Solid 2 series < £100 for the 64GB might possibly raise my eyebrows. Anything over that is silly, since I'm only spending £120 on motherboard, RAM *and* CPU for my new HTPC... |

| Re: News - OCZ adds to value-orientated SSDs with Solid 2 series I'm all for consumer choice but OCZs range of SSDs is getting ridiculous, it's like the Nvidia graphics card lineup for the last couple of years. This had better be cheaper than competing drives (most of them other OCZ models  ) because otherwise there isn't really a lot of point to it IMHO.

I'm not sure what they've done, put an artificial limit in the firmware so it can't run full speed, or more likely(or a combination) that they've used far cheaper memory chips than the usual samsung chips. Considering we should though, towards the end of the year as micron get their 34nm chips out(micron worked with intel to come up with Intel's 34nm but afaik micron haven't gone into full production yet so their drives use the bigger samsung memory), see their £100 64gb drives drop significantly as they get 34nm chips of their own, or Samsungs smaller chips due later this year. Maybe its simply OCZ selling off their stocks of older samsung memory before production kicks into gear of the new cheaper stuff. |
