OCZ Intros New 3.5-inch "Colossus" SSD
SSD’s are fast becoming a viable option, and with prices dropping pretty steadily, more folks are opting to go SSD rather than HDD.
In keeping with this, OCZ today announced a 3.5-inch SSD dubbed Colossus. To be made available in the next two months you’re looking at 512 GB and 1 TB versions of the device. As for aesthetics, we're sorta diggin' the whole industrial look. All that aside, there’s nothing about pricing out there so we don’t know how much one of these things is going to set you back, but how much would you be willing to fork out?

512GB $200.00
1TB $350.00
at the most...
^+1 512GB $200
1TB $350
For a SSD of that size? Dream on ;-)
$1000+ for the 1TB, perhaps as low as $500 for the 512GB
Okayyyy.... but the reason i'm going so low is because after a certain amount of writes and deletes the SSD's fail.
How about smaller sizes, just very very very fast. And cheap! All the big files can go on to HDD.
Impossible to say without further detail really. Is it SLC or MLC? What's the cache size? How blisteringly fast does it claim to be? Will it significantly improve my quality of life? How many child labourers lost limbs in its manufacture? Where's my medication?
