Maybe it's just interference from our
seasonal goggles, but isn't there something quite cheery about SSD reviews? In the case of OCZ's
Octane drive, our good spirits derive from the sturdy performance of its
freshly-conceived Indilinx Everest controller, which ought to keep big players like
SandForce and
Samsung on their toes.
HotHardware just reviewed the
$369 $879 512GB variant and found that it delivered fast boot-up times, strong read speeds and writes that were just shy of enthusiast-class drives. Follow the source link for the full and possibly festive benchmarks.
Update: Sorry about the optimistic price error. Guess we got carried away with all the holiday discounts. As many of y'all spotted, it's the 256GB version that goes for $369.
Update: We just added links to reviews from
AnandTech and
Storage Review, which both arrived at similarly positive conclusions.
