OCZ’s Vertex Limited Edition Review & SSD State of the Union

OWC - Hot on OCZ’s Heels
Other World Computing, a well known Mac parts reseller, is now also an SSD manufacturer with its own SF-1500 based product.
It’s called the OWC Mercury Extreme Enterprise SSD and is identical to OCZ’s Vertex LE. OWC appears to be a bit behind OCZ as the drives they’ve been sending out still have the older version of SandForce’s firmware. OWC’s pricing appears to be on-par with OCZ’s Vertex LE, but I don’t have final word on availability. Update: It looks like drives are actually available! No word on what firmware revision is shipping on these drives though, I hope to have that information next week.
OWC's SF-1500 sans supercap
The OWC 100GB drive I received performs similarly to last year’s Vertex 2 Pro and today’s Vertex Limited Edition but it’s still using the older firmware. I’m shipping it back to OWC and will hopefully get an idea of final pricing, availability and configuration shortly.

They can still buy more SF-1500 controllers at the non-sweetheart-deal price and create new drives for warranty replacements. Or they could offer refunds but not replacements.vol7ron - Saturday, February 20, 2010 - link
I'm glad they realized that the controller was too expensive. It should definitely be cheaper, SF is ripping them off. I think this was a good move on their part.But, I also have to wonder, was this decision influenced in part from the CES-2010? The V2Pro seems lke it was a not superior, but competitive product that would soon be inferior. Just makes me wonder if execs said, "halt production, sell what you can. We'll market it as Limited Edition."
