Introduction

OCZ has been one of the earliest adopters of SSD technology, and their products have always been at the forefront of technology. After all the financial irregularities that we've seen in 2012, combined with their falling stock price, it's great to see that OCZ is still alive and kicking, and working on new products. Their latest OCZ Vector is based on the new Indilinx Barefoot 3 controller: it is, given Indilinx was acquired by OCZ in 2011, the first OCZ controller with 100% in-house technology.

The Vector uses synchronous NAND flash with the Barefoot 3 connected to a SATA 6 Gbps interface. Warranty has been set at five years, which shows OCZ believes in their product - confident that it will last you for a very long time.
