Inside OCZ's Factory: How SSDs Are Made

I love the shelves full of stock mobos connected to KVMs for firmware installation. You would have thought they'd have some custom piece of hardware for that.

Looks like they do and they want to completely move over to it.
Currently OCZ has two different test setups. One half of the test systems are regular PCs that are very similar to the firmware download systems, whereas the other half are custom racks pictured above. OCZ is looking to move all testing to rack-based cabins since one cabin can simultaneously test 256 drives, which is far more efficient than having dozens of PC setups around that can only test a handful of drives each at a time. The test regime is the same in both cases, so it's purely a matter of space and labor efficiency.
