Once-great SSD manufacturer OCZ filing for bankruptcy
> Once-great<p>They were never great.<p>They lied to their customers by selling hardware under the same name as previously produced hardware with cheaper components and lesser specs.<p>They built hardware that was simply off-spec, an example being drives where the connectors were an entire millimeter shifted, such that when installed in certain machines the connectors literally could not make contact with the corresponding metal.<p>They built drives with extreme speeds while entirely sacrificing longevity and reliability.<p>At best they had a great marketing department that made it possible for them to peddle their crap to the public for so long.<p>I'm glad to see them go.<p>Edit:<p>For those who must have numbers, return statistics:<p><a href="http://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?depth=2&hl=it&ie=UTF8&prev=_t&rurl=translate.google.com&sl=fr&tl=en&u=http://www.hardware.fr/articles/862-7/ssd.html&usg=ALkJrhjYW5hePOLf3fELOQmp2PsCCvVSRg" rel="nofollow">http://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?depth=2&h...</a><p><a href="http://www.hardware.fr/articles/911-7/ssd.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.hardware.fr/articles/911-7/ssd.html</a>
