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.
