    OCZ SSD question.

    here you go... http://www.comtread.com/news/New+SSD+Developments+From+The+Intel+Developer+Forum.htm Expect Intel to sort out the sandforce controller issues via updated Orom's and RST drivers.That will sort alot of it out I'd imagine. Besides user config issues.

    NEW OCZ Debacle pls help guys

    Firstly,I am probably the oldest troll of your website,i simply love it. We OCZ users have had a tough run lately with the new string of drives,Vertex 3,agility 3 etc. They are blaming firmware and are trying to hurry and come up with a fix(Sandforce).Many of us have constant BSOD's and at...
