OCZ, one of the leaders in SSD technology, looks to be taking it easy this year at Computex with only a few product updates and 1 new SSD model. Adding to the recently released Vector series OCZ will be showing off a new Vector PCIe SSD. They will also have their updated Fatal1ty Gaming Series power supplies in 550W and 750W models.
The OCZ Fatal1ty Gaming Series PSUs are getting some refinement this year. These 80+ Bronze units will now have fully modular cabling, and specialized DC-to-DC converters to ensure compatibility with C6/C7 power states in Intel Haswell. They will still feature the 135 mm fan load-controlled fans, single 12V rail, and redesigned circuitry for better airflow.
In addition, OCZ is also showing off their latest Vector SSD in a PCIe design. Thanks to increased bandwidth, this drives promises to have exceptional IOPS, massive throughput, and lots of storage. These are great for power users and workstation applications. We have all seen how much better PCIe SSDs can perform when compared to their SATA 3 counterparts.
Not the biggest news, but good to see OCZ still refining their products including several new enterprise solutions in the new SATA based Deneva 2, Talos 2 SAS drive, and Z-Drive R4 PCIe SSD Series.
