MLC shows 83% CAGR in Enterprise Adoption
OCZ Enterprise SSDs are primarily MLC and eMLC based
12
Source: Gartner, August 2010
• MLC provides approx. 75% cost reduction of SLC
• Shrinking process technologies further reduce flash cost (now 34nm, moving to 2xnm in Q410)
• New 3 and 4 bit per cell flash technologies will go mainstream in early 2011; more cost reductions

OCZ RevoDrive:
Bootable PCIe at mainstream costs (less than $2.5 Per GB)
“Fusion-IO are pushing 3 years on their repeated promise of
bootability. A $1k ($7k in the case of the ioDrive 160) piece of
storage gear should support this standard feature common to
nearly every other storage device in existence.”
Source: PC Perspective
“The RevoDrive is an absolute breath of fresh air to the PCIe SSD field”
(PC Perspective, June 25, 2010)
“The RevoDrive it is less demanding on system resources
when compared to ioDrive, and remains an outstanding
performer for its price point. Bootable!” Source: PC Perspective
Lower is Better
MLC and EMLC: Here comes the future
MLC Matches SLC performance among top rated enterprise class SSDs
16Confidential
Mainstream PC- where the rubber meets the road
OCZ MLC- 2xnm now below $1.25 per GB
17Confidential
•Price per GB is the driving trend for
mainstream PC SSD growth – but no with
need to reach HDD price parity to gain
adoption. compare this to the adoption
of flat panel TV’s versus Cathode ray
tubes.
•2x NM nodes now support pricing
within the “price elasticity” range for
Laptop makers
•Note Apple’s SSD only strategy on the
Macbook Air
HSDL: High Speed Data Link Interface
Breaks Bottlenecks
18Confidential
• SSD technology is moving at a faster rate
than current interfaces can support, standard
interfaces are becoming the bottleneck
• HSDL is an OCZ proprietary interface that is
the fastest storage interface available in the
market
• Completely scalable in number of channels
• Currently each HSDL Drive (IBIS) ships with
HSDL adapter card and cable included for
easy deployment
• HSDL is an open standard and OCZ is
currently working with platform partners to
foster adoption
HSDL Single Adapter card
IBIS HSDL 3.5” SSD
HSDL Cable
HSDL: Independent Trade Press Reviews
19Confidential
“The OCZ IBIS is very fast as you’d expect. Technically it’s
the fastest SSD we’ve ever tested. Ryan and OCZ are
doing what they’re good at: finding a niche and trying
their best to get there quicker than the big guys.”
– AnandTech, Sept 2010
“A single HSDL channel and a first-generation drive
outpaces what one SAS connection can do, throughput-
wise. And OCZ is talking about multiplexing lanes to
generate even more performance. You can't do that with
SAS.” – Tom’s Hardware, Sept 2010
“OCZ Ibis touts 2GBps High Speed Data Link, vanquishes
SSD competition” - Endgadget, Sept 2010
“From a raw performance perspective, the OCZ ibis drive
impressed us on many levels. Killer all around
performance, best in class write performance”
– Hot Hardware, Sept 2010
Memory R&D experts will lead the SSD pack
The key to cost reduction and 25nm MLC and TLC support – is NAND flash
processing expertise
20Confidential
OCZ is shipping 2xnm MLC SSDs this Quarter
•Companies with a background in high speed and high density memory have a head start in the SSD space
•OCZ proprietary P/E and Data retention sorting capability were key to this early launch
•Advanced testing and packaging capabilities allowed for sorting to deal with read disturb issues
•In-line Signal path processing on DDP and SDP packages to reduce noise is a memory centric issue !
•FLASH Device Reliability enhancement is KEY
Future Density increases require packaging Expertise
•Small BGA body size support with advanced technology and increased Density is a requirement for future
cost/size reductions
•Enables increased number of controller channels / Flash sites
•Packaging innovation required to support greater than 8 dice per Flash package for increased capacity with
similar reliability
•Ongoing reliability enhancements required to satisfy Enterprise-level MLC requirements over time
OCZ – Upcoming key product
technologies
• NVMHCI PCIe SSD controller
• Enhanced Error Correction Engine for 3 and 4 bit per cell MLC
• Quasi-Modular multi-core NAND controller
• Multi-Interface SSD SOC
• Ultra-High Density Mass storage class SSDs – up to 16TB per

HSDL: High Speed Data Link Interface Breaks Bottlenecks 18Confidential • SSD technology is moving at a faster rate than current interfaces can support, standard interfaces are becoming the bottleneck • HSDL is an OCZ proprietary interface that is the fastest storage interface available in the market • Completely scalable in number of channels • Currently each HSDL Drive (IBIS) ships with HSDL adapter card and cable included for easy deployment • HSDL is an open standard and OCZ is currently working with platform partners to foster adoption HSDL Single Adapter card IBIS HSDL 3.5” SSD HSDL Cable
  • 19. HSDL: Independent Trade Press Reviews 19Confidential “The OCZ IBIS is very fast as you’d expect. Technically it’s the fastest SSD we’ve ever tested. Ryan and OCZ are doing what they’re good at: finding a niche and trying their best to get there quicker than the big guys.” – AnandTech, Sept 2010 “A single HSDL channel and a first-generation drive outpaces what one SAS connection can do, throughput- wise. And OCZ is talking about multiplexing lanes to generate even more performance. You can't do that with SAS.” – Tom’s Hardware, Sept 2010 “OCZ Ibis touts 2GBps High Speed Data Link, vanquishes SSD competition” - Endgadget, Sept 2010 “From a raw performance perspective, the OCZ ibis drive impressed us on many levels. Killer all around performance, best in class write performance” – Hot Hardware, Sept 2010
