OCZ SSD prices at an all-time low
OCZ prices for most of their consumer SSDs have dropped by up-to 30%, in an attempt to be even more competitive with parties like Samsung and Micron. As a result, re-sellers are now able to offer the OCZ SSDs at a level that aggressively competes. In some cases that will even be up to 30% lower since the market introduction. Below some examples.
Starting back in in 2012, OCZ has made a lot of investments into R&D, engineering, cost reductions and overall product quality. Since the acquisition by Toshiba starting this year, OCZ has gained direct access to NAND, creating even a better position in both pricing and steady supply. After a lot of hard work, this has paid off in terms of reliability and they have now also taken the last obstacle; price.
Most of you are aware of that the two recent new releases (ARC 100 and AMD Radeon R7) launched back in August, even have come out with an exclusive new warranty service, called ShieldPlus. Guru3D feels that these SSDs are among the best in the worls world.
And example of the OCZ ARC 100 (read our review here), it started at 145 EURO and is now selling for 95 EURO, that is the 240 GB version. That's like 39 cents per GB in EURO (!) Now might be a good time to pick one up.
The ARC 100 series are lovely products that are blazing fast, durable and reliable.

Toshiba owns it now and to be honest it looks like things improved, a lot.

While it does make them more attractive, Samsung's reliability and innovation is worth the price premium for myself.

Had the OCZ Vertex 2 XT, it ran about 27 months, then died. Now I own two 120GB 840Evos as well as a Cruicial M4 256GB. As long as they run, you can't complain about anything tbh. Still running all those at Sata 3GB/s, so there's hardly any real difference

This must be why ocz ssd aren't sold anymore in my country. They are too cheap. And besides that my country is becoming a tourist/dumb people only country. Sad.

Not sure if it's a good deal when we're talking about OCZ in the SSD departement.
