Yeah, OCZ had shit V3's Laughing

So all 8 that i have bought for me and clients, not a single one failed.
And like i showed times and times over, i use my SSD excessively daily, prolly more than anyone one this forum, yet it's still alive and kicking Wink (and yes, i'm still on rather old firmware for it)



Maybe people don't care since even with a failure rate of 10 % you still have over 40 % chance of buying 8 good drives in a row.

wouldn't mind seeying toshiba push good old Ocz back to the top they had good stuff but like others said it's the issues that gave them a bad name, tho if you consider how many where bought in the early years of the v3 i think they had a below normal failure rate but hey that's my opinion, just glad they're gonna stay around

10% ?

Where did you get that number from? Did you totally miss the point where ALL SSD-manufacturers have failure rates within 3% (0.5-3.5)??

Right, but there is a big difference with even a 1% difference when you are talking about the massive sales volume for this market.

That data pretty much tells me that I'm only ever going to buy an Intel SSD in the future. .5% and 3% is a massive difference.

The point was that personal opinions doesn't matter much. I think the only table worth even considering was your table which shows quite low failure rates. What I tried( and failed Sad ) to point out was that even with grossly exaggerated failure rates you still have a reasonable chance of buying 8( which is the number sausje claimed) with out encountering a bad driive.

Press Releases

Toshiba Corporation Completes Acquisition of OCZ Technology Group’s Assets and Launches New Subsidiary, OCZ Storage Solutions
January 21, 2014

OCZ Storage Solutions - a Toshiba Group Company - Will Serve the Solid-State Storage Industry with Both Client and Enterprise SSD Solutions and Software

SAN JOSE, CA—January 21, 2014—Toshiba Corporation, a global technology leader and manufacturer of NAND flash memory, today announced that the Company has finalized the purchase of substantially all assets of OCZ Technology Group, making it a wholly owned subsidiary and Toshiba Group Company. Effective immediately, the Group company will operate independently as OCZ Storage Solutions, a leading provider of high-performance solid state drives (SSDs) for computing devices and systems.

The acquisition provides Toshiba with OCZ’s enterprise and client SSD businesses and enables the established OCZ brand to continue in full force with a current product portfolio that includes SATA and PCIe consumer drives for high-performance and mainstream applications, and SATA, SAS and PCIe enterprise drives supported by virtualization, cache and acceleration software. OCZ Storage Solutions will leverage Toshiba’s cutting-edge NAND and combine it with the Company’s proprietary controllers, firmware and software to provide both client and enterprise customers with innovative and cost-effective solid-state storage solutions.

“The acquisition of OCZ further expands our solid-state storage capabilities and represents Toshiba’s commitment to this high-growth area,” said Mr. Seiichi Mori, Vice President of Toshiba's Semiconductor and Storage Company and Corporate Vice President of Toshiba. “Our goal is to offer a leading edge portfolio of solid state solutions to address the storage challenges faced by both client and enterprise customers, and the acquisition of OCZ is an ideal addition to our team in realizing this strategy.”

“We are very excited to be part of the Toshiba family where we will continue to develop new and unique solid-state storage technologies that position the new entity as a market leader,” said Ralph Schmitt, CEO for OCZ Storage Solutions. “With Toshiba’s financial strength and portfolio of leading-edge NAND flash memory, OCZ is now in a advantageous position as one of the few companies in the SSD industry with advanced controller IP and NAND flash supply under one global organization, which in turn will help enable more robust and competitive solid-state solutions going forward while expanding our market presence in the rapidly growing SSD market.”

As a Toshiba Group Company, OCZ Storage Solutions will continue to maintain its established worldwide sales channels. The new Company’s headquarters will remain in San Jose, California, with strategic design centers located in Irvine (California), Tel Aviv (Israel), and Abingdon (UK).
