675 € If there is one segment where OCZ is really strong and pro-active these days it just has to be SSD storage, Solid State Disks. It almost feels like with every passing week or three, maybe four, they start to offer a new model. Lets name some...
Final Words & Conclusion Even before we started testing this Summit SSD we already knew that this product had to be a good. Weve been hearing very good things about Samsungs SSD controllers. Combine that hunch with facts like write performance and...
