OCZ has plans to show several new products at Computex starting May 31th. Several of its SSDs with PCI-E interface will be shown to the public, along with its new Indilinx controller chip and hybrid solution for combining a SSD and mechanical harddrive.
OCZ has a lot prepared for Computex, beside shipping ultrafast storage media to retail, the company has a lot of products for the professional market with everything from workstations to supercomputers. The acquisition of Indilinx makes it possible to stand out.
At Computex it will show new products and that includes the new Z-Drive R4 which is a SSD using the PCI-Express interface with speeds up to 2.7 GB/s, 330 000 IOPS and up to 960 GB storage targeting datacenters. Its latest RevoDrive 3 that also use the PCI-Express interface, but with a lower price targets retail high-end users.
First generation RevoDrive from OCZ
It is also a product from the RevoDrive series that is behind its new technology for combining SSD and harddruve where RevoDrive will be used as cache. We have no details on this, but this is a solution that is becoming more and more attractive. We have looked at Intel’s technology for this with good results and while the idea hasn’t made any enthusiasts cheer for joy it is one step toward making the SSD more attractive to the common user.
Besides demonstrating new products with the PCI-E interface and its hybrid solution OCZ will also show the first controller circuit from Indilinx with SATA 6 Gb/s support. Indilinx ended up in the shadow of SandForce since SF-1200 and SF-1500 found the market and we will have to wait and see if Indilinx can come back and regain the status it once had.
