Bet on low-cost solid-state drives nearly ruined OCZ Technology, and the company still can not make up with finances, but quite clearly builds its development strategy.
Alex Mei has repeatedly reported that OCZ no longer see the point of release of low-cost solid-state drives. As market competition intensifies, the only way to survive on it is to takes a specific niche. OCZ is confident that the company will be able to do so with a focus on integrated solutions for consumer and corporate services through proprietary controllers. Let us recall that some time ago, OCZ hired Indilinx Developer, and now Barefoot controllers are part of the arsenal of the first of the companies. Preparing for the announcement of Vector 150 series drives should show good performance and reasonable estimated longevity.
The advantages of Vector drive is the ability to maintain high performance throughout the life cycle. The next year, according to a OCZ, popularity of drives with PCI Express interface will increase, even if it is a consumer-grade products (RevoDrive). OCZ develops controllers, allowing for effective work with this interface. The main part of the market, however, will take drives with interface SATA. Focusing on the more profitable corporate sector, OCZ promises not to forget about the needs of ordinary consumers.
