STOP PRESS _ THE OCTANE JUST GOT FASTER!!!!23/01/2012 OCZ Technology Group today announced the release of new enhanced IOPS firmware (v 1.13) for the Octane SATA 3.0 Series SSDs. The random write performance has been significantly enhanced, in some capacities over double that of the previous specifications, for users looking to push their SSD performance to new heights. For all Octane SATA-III models, the enhanced IOPS made possible by this new firmware allow for greater transactional performance, especially during small file & random access speeds in everyday computing applications. When compared to the previous revision, random write IOPS performance doubles across nearly all capacities when tested in Iometer 2008: Old Random Write 4K IOPS (FW v 1.12) 128GB = 7, 700 New Random Write 4K IOPS (FW v 1.13) 128GB = 18, 000 OCZ strives to offer the fastest, highest performing solutions on the market & continues to support customers by offering firmware innovations to their storage investments. The new enhanced IOPS firmware will begin shipping in the next batch of drives to resellers, & the upgrade file will be made available to existing customers via the companys website OCZ Octane 128GB 2.5" SATA III Solid State Drive Designed to fuel "instant-on" access & a cutting-edge computing experience Combining high-speed data transfer rates with record-breaking access times, OCZ Octane SSDs are designed to provide a superior user experience & enhanced application performance. Octane leverages the cutting-edge Indilinx Everest platform & is optimized for the complete spectrum of file types & sizes, with proprietary page mapping algorithms mirroring real world conditions across a wide range of applications. The Octane series also
Includes:: advanced features unique to Indilinx, including latency reduction technology to enhance system responsiveness & enable instant-on boot-ups. Octane SSDs also deliver the energy efficiency, durability, & reliability that traditional hard drives cannot provide.
