Some cache tuning needed for better handling of mixed readwrite workloads, Some compatibility issues noted with nonnative chipsets (see below)
The Indilinx Everest had a very good showing in OCZ's Octane SSD. Sequential read and write performance was right at the top of the charts, and the new unit turned in some of the lowest latency and highest IOPS figures we'd seen from a SATA SSD to dat...

Abstract: What? A performance SSD from OCZ not based on SandForce's tech? The new Octane SSD features an Indilinx controller. Does OCZ rectify the controller company's past mistakes, or does it need more time to marinate? The truth lies somewhere in the middle. ...
great all round performance, high incompressible data throughput, very competitive price point, high reliability and long life,
Stiff competition from other ‘non Sandforce' drives such as the Samsung 830 and Corsair Performance Pro Series, Kitguru says: We hope to see more drives using this controller over the coming months. It is a fine alternative to Sandforce 2281 powered solut
