Interesting enough for me to postpone my buy !

And enough for me to confirm my suspicion that the 510 series is a stepping stone to seriously affordable SSD's (along with real/solid performance).

OCZ Acquires Indilinx SSD Controller Maker

Good, so they will sell vertex3 with indilinx controller but advertising it with sandforce

[Tomy B.]

He he he! Who knows...

And now something good coming from OCZ. So they need 100 requests to release FW update for OCZ Vertex (Indilinx controler) to became OCZ Vertex Turbo.

[newkleer]

something good...kinda, its just an ego/marketing thing, requiring 100 people to say they want it, lame. just release it.

[ronan_zj]

100 ppl beg for it...

ONFI Announces Publication of the 3.0 Standard, Pushes Data Transfer Speeds to 400 MB/sec

The Open NAND Flash Interface (ONFI) Working Group, the organization dedicated to simplifying integration of NAND Flash memory into consumer electronic devices, computing platforms, and industrial systems, today published the new ONFI 3.0 standard. By using the non-volatile DDR2 (NV-DDR2) interface, the newly ratified standard reaches speeds of up to 400 megabytes (MB)/sec, doubling the current NAND interface transfer rates.

Is this good or bad? Greek to me.

[chimpanzee]

it greatly increase the per channel bandwidth thus much more head room for further push the speed without going to say 16/20 channels in order to double the performance.

Only SF 3 is using it though as far as I know.
