OCZ Closing Memory Business to Focus on SSDs

Lol I remember you warning me away from OCZ ram when I was choosing parts.

Sound advice as always!

We've been expecting them to do this for ages matey, the Blade ram was terrible and everyone knew it when it came to RMA time.

TBH it was that long ago we were expecting them to wrap up the whole company. They were on the verge of bankrupcy and a load of the top guys left because of it.
 
OCZ has had such a roller coaster of an existence. I remember their early days and the shady practices they were in. Someone on FM actually helped to uncover it. Then they seemed to bounce back, make some decent products, and actually have good support for awhile. Then came the rebates that were never fulfilled and their support went right back to the crapper again to where we are today with them. It's a shame really.
 
While I'll bow to Toms superior knowledge of their performance and customer service they did have some of the best looking ram in the business (reaper). Just out of interest are their SSD's any better than their ram.

Naaa I had white ram before the compo dude that was the original set! Ive got 3x4gb 2000mhz at 8-9-8-24 which for 4gb sticks is amazing - cherry picked much?

(they dont sell them at those timings they just sorted me out in a HUGE way

HOLY!!!!!Those timings are tighter than pretty much all 2GB sticks running at that speed xD. Those must have come out the production line with like a divine aura or something.
 
Hmmm, I was planning on getting OCZ Platinum 12800, you don't recommend that then? I was also looking at the Mushkin after seeing your review but stocking issues seem to be a problem at the moment. Failing either of the above what 12800 DC 4GB ram do you recommend

Refund i guess...
 
I'm sure they will keep a stock of memory just for RMA purposes. Then again, it is OCZ so don't hold your breath.
 
OCZ SSD sell well because there cheap but they make them look slick. Now in long term business plan that isnt great because SSD price will eventually tumble and there left with what ? Though have started making massive ssd's but merely delaying that problem.
