OCZ JetExpress SSD Controller is its Newest and Fastest
In a bid to stay current, with the advent of M.2, PCI-Express, and NVMe, OCZ announced its newest homebrew SSD controller. Called JetExpress, this controller has the potential to be the industry's fastest, rivaled only by Samsung, and its SM951 drives. The controller features a PCI-Express 3.0 x4 host interface, with 4 GB/s of bandwidth per direction, 8 GB/s in total. The controller supports 8-16 ONFI channels, 1-2 GB of DDR3 DRAM cache, and power loss protection circuits. It supports three popular form-factors, including M.2, 2.5-inch (likely SATA-Express), and SFF-8639. M.2 PCIe prototypes were put up for our lenses. The company plans to make both PC enthusiast and enterprise products using this controller.

Still, you have not experienced horrid support until you have a Samsung 840 Pro die like I did. 5 weeks for a replacement. I had a Vertex 2 crap out once and OCZ had a new replacement to my door 3 days after my return was delivered. If the controller is fast, seems reliable after 6 months or so I will be all over it.
As for bad RMA's you get that with a lot of company's shit happens, because of one bad RMA don't mean they are bad as they all have there bad days or good.
