the article just mentions it's possible within 12 months..so the final nail the coffin isn't in yet
too many BSOD'd sandforce SSDs and blown PSU was their ultimate demise

i had one bad experience with ocz that kept me from buying their products forever.

had a power supply less than 2 years old that stopped working, called to RMA it, and they asked for the store receipt. said i didnt have it, and they said they couldnt honor the RMA.
in this day and age where all records are kept electronically and every product has a serial number, i just see this as their way of processing less RMAs, and trying to save their company money without trying to deliver a positive customer experience.

had the total opposite experience with corsair and a 3.5yr old PS that was making electrical noises. the warranty is 4 years and so i only had 6 months left. they sent me a brand new one no questions asked.

This time in my RMA request I stated that i was unhappy and don't trust their shit. They sent me a newer drive instead. OCA agility 3. Seems to be stable so far.. haven't owned it for 1 year yet though. -_-

They should have stuck with making RAM. I don't know, I always enjoyed using their RAM. Pretty reliable imo.

i remember the big stink was that they used a 3rd party rebate company to "process" them and they didn't process most of them. it was a little bit of a scandal when someone found the rebates that were supposed to be processed in a dumpster and it leaked online on a forum. i can't remember the details it was back 4 years or so...

never had a fail OCZ product. Do you know they sell modified CPU back in the AMD Duron/Althon age (2001)? I had a couple even though their CS sucks, but I like it.

I hope it doesn't happen. They make really good products. Blame SandForce if you think their drives are crap. They were always the first to use the controller, which led to all the problems with reliability...

BTW if you want to thank one company for driving SSD prices down the most, this is who you should thank.

Of course, that may have cost them their business so....

I have zero problems with OCZ products from SSD's, RAM, to flash drives. Have not had any one die nor have had any rebate issues and I've owned a lot of their products. Gonna be sad to see them go.

No problems with OCZ products. Very sad if they go under because OCZ is the reason why we have all these fast SSD at really low prices. If it wasn't for Vertex 2, 3 and 4, we wouldn't be at $1/gb so soon
