same controller. The 32GB MLC is mroe expensive than a Vertex of same size. But the 64 and 128 sizes are a bit cheaper.
All of the SLC drives are cheaper than the Vertex EX versions.


But if you notice, the stated specs are quite different. Just cause it uses the same controller doesnt mean it is the exact same drive. They might have a slightly different ammount of cache, or use different density nand chips, stacked differently, different PCB design, different quality nand, etc. The specs look better on these Solidata drives, and for the most part they are cheaper than OCZ. But with OCZ you know exactly what you are getting, have great support, and regular firmware updates.

But Solidata use the better Flashtools

Latest Vertex flasher works with a bootable USB drive and doesn't mess with your data.
