“We are maintaining our existing Vertex line which makes use of Indilinx controllers and also just recently introduced the Onyx SSD which is a mainstream SSD that delivers a good balance of performance and value, this drive also makes use of an Indilinx controller and a number of our existing Z-Drive PCIe solutions also are designed with Indilinx,” stressed the vice-president of OCZ.
