OCZ Synapse 60 GB Caching SSD Review
Packaging & the Drive »Introduction
OCZ Technology has been one of the companies that built an excellent reputation for themselves in the SSD business, with many innovations coming out of their labs.
OCZ's Synapse SSD is such an innovation. It comes bundled with NVELO's Dataplex software which turns the SSD into a cache drive for the boot hard disk, promising to greatly improve its performance.
We wonder what went through the brainstorming session at OCZ that the name 'Synapse' was chosen. High school human anatomy would tell you that a synapse is the slowest part of the nervous system.
