Both of these models have been out for months. I've had a Vector 150 for quite a while now.

Indeed, I've been using a Vector 150 for ages, so what are they actually
announcing, if anything? Must be something else surely?

True, Intel more or less dominates the Enterprise market. Regarding OCZ's (previous) track record was pretty bad, especially in their low-end segment. Their Petrol drives should've never left the factory. However, their Vertex series maintained a relatively respected view. The rest of the track record can be considered by the next comment...I don't think of OCZ and enterprise in the same sentence they have a pretty piss poor reliability track record from what I've seen at least. I'm pretty sure if you want enterprise reliability Intel is going to be one of your best bets to look into they at least have a good track record.
Effectively, yes. OCZ was in the unfortunately position of not owning their own fab plant. They bought out Indilynx so they could at least have their own controller, but that's only part of the battle when you are competing at the consumer level where price is an oft deciding factor. I think it was unfortunate planning that they ended up taking a few gambles that didn't pay off and they got stretched too thin to recover. Toshiba saw an opportunity to pick up a good group of developers with a keen eye towards controller firmware, So they made the offer which pretty much OCZ had to take or they were all gonna end up in the unemployment line.Wasn't this company set to go out of business because they ran out of money?
