Lol ok, you win, the NAND is from Marvell.It. Doesn't. Matter.
The NAND is from Marvell, not some crappy no-name company.

It is hard to take your posts seriously when you cannot differentiate between a NAND controller and the NAND flash memory.
Marvell does not manufacture NAND flash memory.
Oh, I missed one word. This. Changes. Everything.
http://www.anandtech.com/show/5743/intels-ssd-910-400800gb-mlchet-pcie-shipping-in-1h-2012The second PCB is home to 448GB of Intel's 25nm MLC-HET NAND, spread across 28 TSSOP packages. The third PCB is only present if you order the 800GB version, and it adds an extra 448GB of NAND (another 28 packages). Even in a fully populated three-board stack, the 910 only occupies a single PCIe slot.
This discussion is not based around the technical advantages of their chosen path or anything like that. It is based on yet again OCZ's questionable public relations and customer deception. OCZ released Octane in like Nov 11 against a wash of articles all over the web about how this is OCZ's first Indilinx in house controller and all of the advantages that would bring over two dodgy generations of SandForce controllers. OCZ were happy to ride that wave even pushing it themselves with their "Indilinx Infused" (which I now think is very "clever") knowing full well they hadn't done anything different than Crucial with the m4 or Intel with the 510. At most it sounds like they convinced Marvell to bump the clock a bit.
It is general convention that when somebody uses 'NAND' in the context of SSDs, that they mean 'NAND flash memory,' and definitely not the controller.

Makes a world of difference. When I read your posts, I saw somebody that is very uninformed.
You made 4 posts in this thread before I replied, to which I understood to be regarding NAND. Four posts that I processed as "This guy has no clue." Yeah it makes a big difference.I missed one word. This. Changes. Everything.
Clearly, this is not nitpicking from your part and you didn't miss everything else I wrote. Missing one work clearly invalidates everything else.
I do agree with you on that, "ocz scammed you" would not have been my choice of words.Based on the title of this thread, it can be construed in many ways. Saying that OCZ "scammed you".. especially when.. "you".. don't even own the damned thing, is really just preaching to the chior around this joint. Guess who the thread is going to attract?
Yep!Bottom line is they misled everybody to think that Octane and Vertex 4 was an in house job under their newly acquired Indilinx brand and it's nothing of the sort.
Yep!
What doesn't matter is if it's good or bad.
It's just the latest inconsistency in a long line of inconsistencies that puts marketing/sales/hype above anything else.
Congratulations. You have managed to miss everything in this thread.OP must also think Dell makes their own motherboards and processors.... Dell is scamming!!! Lol....
Congratulations. You have managed to miss everything in this thread.
Lol, the first I learned before buying an SSD was: Don't buy an OCZ SSD.
Guys, I think the issue is this:
3) In an attempt to regain trust, OCZ claims that said SSDs will now be completely in-house. This will grant them complete control over the QA process.
do you have a link or quote for this? In the past they had to wait for sf to write the FW. they now write the FW for v4.
Tbh the way the SSD sector has developed over the last 6 months I feel that Samsung is streets ahead of the competition.No news here. Just buy a damn Samsung 830 and be done with it. 100% Samsung parts, Samsung quality and the best reliability of the highend SSDs.
I find it hilarious that the ones complaining about this drive not being 100% OCZ built.. are the same ones who don't like them and often whine about their Sandforce based drives panic locking them out.
Because, if the haters distrust OCZ that much?.. why would you want to buy, or even see, another controller designed by them released in a new product?
Seems to me that there are plenty of Marvell advocates around here and they would be happy to see what performance tweaks may lie ahead for those types of drive configs.
Damned if you do.. damned if you don't.
