OCZ releases 1 terabyte 3.5 SSD-Monster Colossus:
When Intel plays with muscles as they did recently with their new SSD-generation competitors must adapt and this OCZ with instantaneous price adjustments of their Vertex SSD series, but instead of just playing with the Intel's melody will OCZ tops Intel capacity with new SSD series.
The name is OCZ Colossus, and the name is quite appropriate for the series, trying to bury Intel with larger capacity and a model of up to one terabyte, according to Hot Hardware. It uses two SSD controllers to manage the multiple NAND chips and the like OCZ Vertex, the choice fell on the cheap Indilinx SSD controller. As was the RAID increases above the maximum transfer rate, although the arbitrary handling of files not being affected by this.
The details of the chips used are sparse, but it is reasonable to assume that the OCZ with the high capacity is turned down for speed or some other selected chips than those from Vertex series. Price lands according to AnandTech to 300 USD for 128GB, 650 USD for 256GB, 1,200 USD for 500GB and crazy 2200 dollars for a terabyte.
The largest models are thus somewhat utopian the next six years even with the expected large price cuts as the price per NAND chip decreases and the 128GB model for 300 USD is a little odd pricing. It is virtually identical to 128GB variant of OCZ Vertex, which gives a hint on the performance and the question is which of the two models OCZ choose to victims and to lower the price to make more room to another.
Very symbolic OCZ Colossus comes only as a 3.5 "model and is therefore only directed at desktop market. Most SSD-harddosle come as 2.5-inch models, which do not always fit desktop Cabinets' disk holders.
