OCZ Vector 150 SSD  OCZ's memory technology won't fade into
obscurity after all -- Toshiba has agreed to buy the ailing
company's assets for $35 million through a bankruptcy auction.
As long as the bid wins, Toshiba expects to acquire OCZ's solid-
state drive businesses in January. The deal also supplies the
financing that OCZ needs to fulfill customer orders during the
transition. It's a quiet end for the once-popular storage brand,
but the buyout is undoubtedly good news for Toshiba. The
Japanese tech giant can now augment its SSD lineup with OCZ's
controller chips and flash memory supply; if future Toshiba SSDs
outperform their rivals, you'll know who to thank.   Toshiba to
