The IBIS currently offers the fastest performance ever for a

First of all, we want to note the fact that the existence of these three product series is indeed justifiable. The OCZ IBIS series includes top-end products designed for users who need to get a large number of fantastically fast disks into a server...

Killer all around performance ; Great sustained performance with maintenance algo ; Best of class write performance ; Claimed 2 million hrs MTBF

Price premium over standard SSDs ; Complex design with more possible points of failure

From a raw performance perspective, the OCZ IBIS drive impressed us on many levels. Often times it kept pace and occasionally beat the considerably more expensive Fusion-io ioXtreme 80GB PCI Express SSD card. This one watermark spoke volumes to us...

really a pain to get it going, beware when you buy these, Its not a plug and play item, you have to go great extendt to get it up and running, OCZ doesnt send any info with it, no disks, no drivers, no help, I searched for days to get the right drivers...

Super fast benchmarks

1) Expensive ; 2) Fussy to install. Installed for use as a boot drive, doesn't like many motherboards, BIOSes, certain PCIe slots on motherboards ; 3) In 'normal' PC work, you won't notice any difference between this and any other fast SSD. Apparently...
