My father is about to buy one of the Revvo drives and I'll be very excited to see the bench results

 

They have already bought part of the Sandforce, now the PLX, it seems to me a smart move to reduce the costs inherent to SSD manufacturing and such release optimized products to the market with a less probability of going wrong.

Kosch, don't forget to post the bench results

 

They bought Indilinx outright. This is massive news. PLX make PCI-E bridge chips for many things and either OCZ gets revenue from that or it stops selling them to competitors to reinforce it's position. Very aggressive OCZ, although we've not seen much of the Indilinx aquisition yet.

 

SSD is indeed the wild west (relative to spinning disks).
