'As seems to be so common in the audio world, we have yet another example of someone who knows a lot about audio hardware, and very little about computers, making silly, unfounded proclamations about computer hardware.'
The reverse is so true in this Board as well. We have 'Computer Experts' who are not really interested in audio making stupid statements on how perfect and how much better computer audio is. A lot of this is related to product marketing.
The OCZ forums referred to is a prime example. A manufacturer makes a piece of hardware. It offers little or no information on how to use it properly on an operating system. It is then up to a user to spend a lot on time trying to find the info on the web and then spendtime to find out if 'tweaking' things will improve results on a computer. One has to read the forums with double care to discriminate amgonst product strands, OP strands etc etc to find the right receipe. How much 'difference' this makes to a particular set up cannot really be determined properly as the manufacturer specifically asks you not to test the hardware on commonly availabe HDD test software. So the advce given on these forums sometimes diverge. Asking the manufacturer through 'Support' can actually result in a lot of gibberish showing that the person behind the 'Support' knows little about the subject.
Would any one buy a car which only works properly with tweaks?
