Indilinx, the company responsible for designing the Barefoot SSD controller,
has today agreed to hand its future over to the capable lads and ladies of OCZ Technology
in exchange for $32 million in common OCZ stock.
The companies have announced a definitive agreement for the chipmaker's acquisition, which OCZ is performing in order
to gobble up a set of 20 yummy patents and patent applications while also expanding its presence
in embedded, hybrid storage and industrial markets. Indilinx will continue its current operations,
including providing controllers and firmware to other OEMs, and OCZ too will continue to use others' wares,
namedropping its long-term partner SandForce as among the outside companies that will be supplying it with SSD goodies.
So it's business as usual unless and until this partnership spawns some lightning-fast combination of software and
hardware that forces us to hear that cursed "exclusive" word again. Ah well, best of luck of luck to them.
