And customers should avoid drives that are throttled. So basically what you are saying is that OCZ is selling an inferior product, but hiding that fact from potential customers.
No I'm not saying OCZ is selling an inferior product at all. What I said is that to the casual (read non-informed or computer illiterate) user, if they are looking to buy an SSD because they read they are very fast and started browsing the net to find and buy one, if they found an SSD which mentioned "throttling" in the specs they wouldn't buy it but would avoid them like the plague and buy another brand.

I use an OCZ Vertex 2 in my system and whilst it mightn't be the fastest drive on earth it has been rock solid so far and definitely not an inferior product. It might be outdated with SATA 3 drives now available but not inferior.
