OCZ Storage Solutions with some lost its independence and became part of Toshiba. But it does not put an end to its activities, OCZ continues its work on the development and production of solid-state drives.
But the loss of independence OCZ has set new conditions. If earlier SSDs developer prevailed memory from Intel and Micron, the current owner of the business, is Toshiba company , itself a major producer of flash memory and it is not interesting to keep business competitor.
As a result, now drives range in format 2.5 fully updated to Toshiba memory left only Vertex 450 .
But the range of SSDs OCZ is not limited to purely format 2.5 interface and SATA, it contains drives and expansion cards in the format interface PCI-Express.
Last month, in response to the promise, we saw the OCZ Z-Drive 4500, aimed at corporate customers. And now appeared the new series of drives OCZ RevoDrive 350.
Technically, the device itself has nothing new and is based on the controller LSI SandForce SF-2282. This controller is not as widely known to the public, but its age is estimated by more than one year. The more familiar SF-2281 it differs in the details. As storage is also already familiar MLC NAND production Toshiba, made on 19 nm process and interface Toggle Mode 2.0. Drive interface - usual for this series PCI-Express 2.0 x8.
It should be noted that the RevoDrive 350 actually represents a RAID-array of multiple drives, and low-end model (240 GB) combines the two, and two older (480 and 960 GB) Four controller SandForce SF-2282 .
