OCZ 2x1GB DDR3 PC3-12800 Platinum EB Review

Package:

Some of the evidence presented so far has begun to paint a picture of raw performance, but OCZ also has the ability to combine performance with looks and these OCZ Platinum DDR3 modules are no exception to the tried and tested rule.


The molded plastic blister pack is common place when it comes to packaging memory and for good reason. The package provides ample protection for the product inside. The lack of any distinctive model numbers to the package itself allows for use universally across the entire range of products without incurring additional costs identifying what is inside for each model. This simple yet effect combination of features has led this type of package to be the accepted method for memory delivery and OCZ sees no reason to mess with what is working, for good reason.


The front face of the package provides us visual access to the modules and the label on the memory enables us to know exactly what the product is. The rear of the package simply exposes the back-side of the cardboard insert and provides the end-user with information including some marketing copy, warranty information, and support information. One inclusion that would be nice to see is the address to the OCZ support forum as it is such a great resource for their product users.


Removing the cardboard insert and opening it up at the fold reveals specific installation instructions in five different languages and a couple images to aid in the explanation. Inclusion of instructions in this manner is pretty much the standard for performance memory. There is not a whole lot that can be done with the memory package and there simply is no need for anything more elaborate than what we have seen here. OCZ has done a good job over the years refining their memory package and the professional presentation is more than obvious when looking at this DDR3 kit.
