While OCZ is great about promoting the speed of their latest SSDs, they’re not very good about saying much about what makes them tick outside of the typical marking parlance. If you want to know what makes this latest generation better than the first, it’s the “latest controller and firmware technology” of course.
The spec sheets do at least confirm TRIM and RAID support, MTBF of 1.5 million hours, three year warranty and 2W operating power consumption.
Availability
The OCZ Vertex 2 and Agility 2 SSDs come in 50GB, 100GB, 200GB, and 400GB capacities and begin shipping soon. Pricing has not yet been announced.
