OCZ JetExpress SSD Controller is its Newest and Fastest

[btarunr]

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.

Toshiba did the right thing with buying OCZ.
After that Toshiba will not need to use Marvell or another controllers.
They will produce their own controllers.

Just the name will put some off, how ever that will fade if they do well,, although already been burned by them before they started due to the take over agreement and all i will wait some time yet before my trust is back in them.

You are right. OCZ have a bed reputation.

My issue was getting screwed over a warranty which the Solid 3 was not covered due to crappy agreements, i still payed good money for it.

That right there. When Toshiba bought OCZ the worst mistake they made was not honoring all warranty agreements. Sure, they honored about 90% of them, all the main stuff like Vector, Vertex, Agility, RevoDrive etc. But if you keep the name you should have honored the warranties on even the low end stuff like Petrol and Solid.

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.

Well it be some time before i will buy a Toshiba product again so any HDTV or any thing well just not interested even shit with Toshiba chips in it if that's possible. Youtube so helpful with strip downs on some thing.

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.
