OCZ has entered the SSD market with two new drives at varying capacities. It says that it'll develop and improve the performance quite quickly.

This is just my kind of gadget: looking totally awesome, (soon to be) sweet performance, and about 0.0001% practical use to me

Anyway, i'm digging this

price price price?????

on 2nd generation please... no need for 1st gen. really. who would wanna buy an older, slower version? unless the price can really justify it...

Shouldn't the specs for version 1 just read "Fast Access"?!

TTmodder · 8th Jan 2008, 21:48

more competition = faster development & lower price = something i like

Super duper. Doen't seem that interesting just yet, simply because the price will be ridiculous and 1st gen tech tends to suck. Not to mention the lame read speeds. But within a generation or two this tech should be exactly what most people want for their OS and games disk. I don't think my RAID will be getting rebuilt with SSDs anytime in the next few years though. These things will be like Raptors I reckon, fast and supurb for those who can afford them - but not mass storage.

if 58MB/s read speed is also for not sequential read, as it should be for flash memories, that's impressive

the more the merrier..... and cheaper.....

airchie · 9th Jan 2008, 05:32
