The OCZ Solid Two Drive Revealed

Removing all the outer and inner packaging reveals the drive in all its glory. The drive, given its light weight, seems to be built in a solid manner (pardon the pun) with firm connectors for the power and SATA. Unlike the original solid drive there are no mini USB  ports included, so as to give the drive external storage capability.

As clearly shown the external feels solid, despite its light weight. The attention to detail is what can be expected even given that this drive is their ‘value’ range of drives. The label on the drive reflects what is on the box cover, given an almost Noctua look with a slight shimmering effect.

As shown the rear of the drive  has the aforementioned solid connectors and the same build quality. Not shown in the above image are the two jumper pins that are needed for updating the firmware. As previously mentioned the OCZ Solid 1 had the much maligned J-Micron controller card

The Solid 2 range however has a newer Indilinix controller card. Indilinix are a South Korean company which was established in 1989 producing various controller cards for drives. The OCZ drive bares the new ‘Barefoot’ Controller, more details on this will be released once information is at hand.
