It's not simple to declare that a 500GB drive is a wise deal, but judge against to OCZ's Z-Drive series drives, the innovative Colossus series is presently with the intention of.

The Colossus will be obtainable in 120GB, 250GB as well as 500GB capacities, while the Colossus Cascade series will distribute in extra bourgeois sizes: 250GB, 500GB as well as 1000GB. The plain Colossus series features read as well as write speeds of 260MB/s as well as 128MB of cache along with 2x Indilinx controllers, while the Cascade has the similar transmit speeds, but packs 256MB of cache with 4x Indilinx controllers. Bear in mind that these aren't the certified specs as well as we haven't confirmed them up till now.

We still don't know the cost or accessibility dates for all of them, but according to a few early listings, the Colossus series 120GB, 250GB as well as 500GB capacities. This might sound like a lot, as well as honestly it is, but they still cost half as much as Z-Drive models. Not astonishingly, they're read as well as write speeds are about half of those you'll acquire with the excess Z-Drives.

In spite of that, if you were to acquire the Z-Drive series out of the equation, the latest Colossus as well as Colossus Cascade drives would be the major as well as fastest drives in the market.
