OCZ Octane 1.13 Firmware Update: Improving 4KB Random Write Performance
by Anand Lal Shimpi on February 9, 2012 11:21 PM ESTAnandTech Storage Bench 2011 - Light Workload
Our new light workload actually has more write operations than read operations. The split is as follows: 372,630 reads and 459,709 writes. The relatively close read/write ratio does better mimic a typical light workload (although even lighter workloads would be far more read centric).
The I/O breakdown is similar to the heavy workload at small IOs, however you'll notice that there are far fewer large IO transfers:
| AnandTech Storage Bench 2011 - Light Workload IO Breakdown | ||||
| IO Size | % of Total | |||
| 4KB | 27% | |||
| 16KB | 8% | |||
| 32KB | 6% | |||
| 64KB | 5% | |||
Our lighter workload actually showed more of a performance drop for the 512GB drive, while the 128GB drive's performance remained unchanged.

Last time I checked Intels new ssd was already having BSOD people talking about them on Intels forum so then it does sound like the controller to meLB-ID - Monday, February 13, 2012 - link
I don't care how much lipstick they put on 'em, they're still OCZ drives, and OCZ drives are completely unreliable. Even worse, they're slow to offer any fixes, the fixes often don't work, and in the process they're fond of blaming their customers.I'll not be buying any OCZ SSDs anytime soon, and will continue to warn others to stay away.

Hey Anandtech, Can you review this drive ASAP? I want to know if it is any good. Thanks...
