Not so nice two see one of the two main players in PCI-E storage space acquiring the other - no-one wants a monopoly.

yea but OCZ acquired indilinx, Admittedly it says this is more for the development of enterprise solutions however i struggle to believe OCZ would continue to buy in controller chips if they have the technology to make them inhouse. If LSI jack the prices up then im sure OCZ have a plan.

I see these PCI-E SSD cards the same as the RAM-based ones that came before: A small fad that will pass.
