Update: OCZ has responded to our questions that clarifies the situation somewhat of SSDs and their buyers. For more information, read our news Vertex 2 25 nm: the response to OCZ. Since leaving the OCZ SSD-controller SandForce SSDs are among the best public: competitive prices, excellent performance, low power consumption are their strengths.
This beautiful picture was unfortunately tainted by the arrival of flash memory etched into 25 nm. We did the echo in a week ago (see OCZ SSDs in 25 nm are problems) and things have changed a little since. The basic problem is twofold: Concretely, the first buyers of Vertex 2 in 25 nm found themselves unwittingly with slower drives and lower capacity than they thought to buy.
Discontent quickly mounted in the forums of the manufacturer who has developed a more precise information on its website. The new Vertex are only part of the range 2 E. You will find below two tables comparing the capabilities of version 34 nm and 25 nm and a third giving the performance of Vertex 2 and 2E in the benchmark AS-SSD.
OCZ is also likely to be delivered to purchasers of 25 nm versions aggrieved SSD replacement chips using 25 nm to 32 Gbit. They recover and SSD of the same capacity and speed than before probably comparable. This exchange is not free, OCZ imposing pay the difference in cost between the chip 25 nm 32 Gb and 64 Gb (around $ 10).
For more information, please visit the topic in the forums dedicated to OCZ. This problem will probably not limited to OCZ, all manufacturers to eventually move to 25 nm, factories adopting one after another in this print. Fortunately, the next generation SSD controllers should solve this problem by increasing the number of channels in such writing.
