SSD manufacturer OCZ filing for bankruptcy

[Scallica]

"OCZ was one of the first companies to produce and aggressively market enthusiast-targeted consumer SSDs. As solid state disks rose in popularity, OCZ was seen as a lower-cost alternative to Intel's own high performance (and high-priced) drives. However, a long string of failures across several of its product lines (most notably the high-performance Vertex family) took a lot of the shine off of OCZ's name; these days, the consumer SSD space is dominated by players like Samsung and Crucial."

Glad I chose Crucial instead of OCZ. It was a close choice back when I bought them.
