New OCZ SSDs to be Released Soon

OCZ is readying its newest series of SSDs which will be available in capacities of 128GB to 1000GB. The OCZ Colossus series will come in 120GB, 250GB and 500GB models whilst its bigger brother the Colossus Cascade series will be available in bigger sizes of 250GB, 500GB and a massive 1000GB (1TB). The lower-end Colossus models will feature a 260MB/s read and write speed, an 128MB cache and two Indilinx controllers. On the other hand the higher-end Colossus Cascade series will have the same read and write speeds as the Colossus, but will include double the cache (256MB) and four Indilinx controllers. The prices are not yet known for all the models, but the Colossus series will retail for around US$570, US$1070 and US$1999 for the 120GB, 250GB and 500GB models respectively and I'd expect the Colossus Cascade series leave your wallet even lighter!

Zertz on August 24, 2009 06:16PM Assuming you're talking about TRIM, they have the controller and firmware to support it, but the OS has to support it as well. Windows 7 will have it reply to this

Waco on August 25, 2009 05:26PM Nope, I'm talking about idle-time drive cleaning. No OS support is required, there is a beta firmware available now that implements it. reply to this
