14 DAY TRIAL // OCZ has managed to avoid death by bankruptcy thanks to Toshiba, which bought it. The transaction was completed within the past 24 hours actually. OCZ didn't go quietly though.
Despite being near-bankrupt, the company still launched a series of solid-state drives during the Consumer Electronics Show (CES 2014).
Called Vertex 460, the line has now been formally introduced by the company.
The drives come in up to 460 GB capacity and are made of Toshiba 19nm MLC NAND Flash chips, driven by a Barefoot 3 (BF3) M10 controller.
They can reach 545 MB/s read and 525 MB/s write speeds, as well as 95,000 4K random read IOPS and up to 90,000 4K random write IOPS.
The prices weren't included in the press release, sadly, but the 120 GB, 240 GB and 480 GB units all ship with a 3.5-inch desktop adapter and Acronis True Image cloning software, plus a few more other accessories which, together, would be worth $55 / €40 – 55 if bought separately from the SSD.
