When OCZ bought Indilinx in March this year they not only gained control of some key intellectual property, but they also got one step closer to being able to provide their own in-house SSDs from end to end. OCZ was already using the Indilinx processors in many of their enterprise SSDs so for the bargain price of 32 million, the deal made sense. Now that the Indilinx Everest platform is finding its way to market via integration by OEMs like LG and into client SSDs like the Octane, Indilinx has the potential to give OCZ a huge point of differentiation from nearly everyone else in the market. With the OCZ Octane SSD, the Everest platform promises to deliver read speeds of up to 560 MB/s and writes up to 400 MB/s, depending on capacity.
Speed is great, but the Octane has one more big trick up its sleeve...capacity. The Octane is the first 2.5" SSD to hit the 1TB capacity point, alternatives based on the SandForce processor for instance are capped at 512GB. Part of the Everest platform also includes several software features to help users get the most out of their SSD. Indilinx nDurance increases NAND life two times longer than the 3,000-5,000 PE write cycles currently seen for 2Xnm NAND, pushing the lifespan back into the range seen at the 3xnm die size. "Fast Boot" technology delivers 50% speedier boot times and there are no data compression limitations as seen in SandForce-equipped SSDs. The drives also take advantage of background garbage collection.
