OCZ

OCZ Storage Solutions is a manufacturer of solid state drives (SSDs) based in San Jose, California, USA, and is the new company formed after the sale of OCZ Technology Group 's SSD assets to Toshiba Corporation. Since entering the memory market as OCZ Technology in 2002, the company has targeted its products primarily at the computer hardware enthusiast market, producing performance DDR
RAM, video cards, USB drives, and various cooling products. OCZ currently produces SSD devices using SATA III, PCI Express, Serial attached SCSI[1] and USB 3.0 interfaces, for both client and enterprise applications.

HISTORY
OCZ Storage Solutions - A Toshiba Group Company is not the same organization as OCZ Technology Group. Through bankruptcy proceedings, Toshiba Corporation has acquired substantially all the assets from OCZ Technology Group but most liabilities, including outstanding warranties, have been excluded from that acquisition.

Founded in 2002, San Jose, California-based OCZ Technology Group, Inc. designed and manufactured solid state drives (SSDs) and power supply units for the consumer and enterprise markets.

OCZ maintained satellite offices in The Netherlands, United Kingdom, and Israel along with manufacturing and logistics facilities in Taiwan. In June 2006, OCZ went public on the London Stock Exchange Alternative Investment Market (LSE AIM), with the ticker symbol "OCZ". On May 25, 2007, OCZ acquired PC Power & Cooling, whose products include power supplies.[2] PC Power & Cooling is in Carlsbad, California. It operates as a separate satellite office for OCZ and maintains its own product lines. In early March 2009, OCZ announced their intent to delist from the LSE, to pursue a listing on an American stock exchange. On April 24, 2010, OCZ announced a listing on NASDAQ, with the ticker symbol "OCZ".

In September 2010 OCZ announced the Revo Drive, which is a bootable PCI-E drive for the enthusiast market. It also recently announced an SSD interface called High Speed Data Link (HSDL), which is a PCIe/SAS hybrid interface, along with corresponding products to implement it.[3] As of 2012, OCZ's SSDs offered up to a 1 TB capacity.

OCZ has a history of producing unreliable drives.

The SATA II version of the 128 GB Octane had a return rate of 52.07%. No SSD company except for the OCZ Technology Group had any SSDs with a return rate of over 5% in this from this retailer in the data set that was published on March 5, 2013.
