Micron gently mocks OCZ

Micron, on his blog, makes fun of OCZ, explaining how to construct an SSD with memory etched into 25 nm. In fact, OCZ is under the spotlight after replacing the sly memory in 34 nm of 25 nm, which decreased the performance and working capacity of some of its models. Micron explains how so many to migrate, with the C400 which passes within 25 nm.

First, announce the actual capacity. It's a bit of OCZ's specialty play on words and Micron said that if the SSD is 128 GB, 128 GB And we must enunciate a 120 GB which is 115 in practice, it is bad idea. Do not degrade performance: The C400 is faster than the C300 (as Micron, to verify in practice), while the 25 nm versions of Vertex 2 is slower than the 34 nm versions.

Finally, keep a good endurance: Micron indicates that the C400 of 128, 256 and 512 GB are expected to support the writing of 72 TB of data. This argument is not really one, in the sense that it has no useful information on the life of the Vertex 2 25 nm and Micron announced that when the same value for SSDs with capacities ranging from a 1 to 4, it realizes that it is an indicative value, a 512 GB SSD is inherently more resistant over time a model 128 GB In practice, waiting for an interesting battle between the DSS based on the new generation of controllers Marvell (like the C400) and those based on second generation SandForce (such as Vertex 3) with Intel and DSS 510 in the series outsider.
