    Corsair Blog: 25nm SSD Transition

    TRIM doesn't work like it does on Intel and Indillinx drives. Sandforce has always been cryptic about how their proprietary technology works, and its clear that the OCZ staff on their forums are guessing at how their products actually work, based on scraps of information that Sandforce techies...

    New Intel SSD out in Feb

    Nobody really knows when it comes to SF-2000. The only thing you can be certain of is that Sandforce are going to use the absolute best case theoretical numbers to sell the technology, and you will in all likelihood never actually see consistent real world performance like it. Just like with...

    Corsair Blog: 25nm SSD Transition

    Yeah I'm still getting sleep issues from time to time. Cold booting after a firmware update doesn't bother me but yeah. The last 2 updates blue screened on me and it happens to Corsair Force users too. Its just messy. I hate OCZ Toolbox but I suppose its better than not having a toolbox at all...

    OCZ Vertex 2 with 25nm NAND flash reported slower

    Are you for real?

    OCZ Vertex 2 with 25nm NAND flash reported slower

    Playing the semantics game is fine if it actually gets you somewhere and it means something. As it stands, you know what he meant. He knows what he meant. This is pointless. So really we should be able to move on at this point.

    34 nm G2 now or 25 nm G3 later? 25 nm later a mistake?

    I never said all data can be compressed by 50%. You said that. If it can do 2:1 then great but any redundancy it can eliminate to preserve the nand is a good thing. I would maybe agree with you on the lower sequential read as a result of having to reconstitute the redundant data but I don't...

    34 nm G2 now or 25 nm G3 later? 25 nm later a mistake?

    Ehh, if you buy a G-Skill Phoenix Pro you will still get a Sandforce drive which will still have on the fly compression. That technology is a good thing even if it is often misunderstood. If the controller can throw away 50% of redundant data before writing to NAND and is still capable of...

    34 nm G2 now or 25 nm G3 later? 25 nm later a mistake?

    Only the people who got burned need to do that. Everyone else doesn't need to do squat because Vertex 2 is not a unique product. If a consumer feels like they are gonna get burned, they just give their money to someone else that makes a safer, better alternative i.e. G-Skill. OCZ is not a Sony...

    34 nm G2 now or 25 nm G3 later? 25 nm later a mistake?

    The OCZ problem has nothing to do with the transition to 25nm flash products which is a good thing for the industry. The OCZ problem has everything to do with the manner in which OCZ transitioned to 25nm flash products. They did so silently and incorporated it into products like the 60gb...

    Recommend me a ~$150 turntable!

    I've seen used but pretty good condition Technics 1210 mk2 in classifieds for that. These days there are alot of better featured turntables out there but 1210s are nice because you can abuse the hell out of them. 20 years later, they are missing an eye, most of their teeth and one of their arms...
