OCZ we had presented his Colossus at Computex Taipei in June. The California Company has just officially launched. This SSD adopts a format 3 ½ inches. He uses this extra space to cram more flash, since the capacity of 128, 256, 512 and 1024 GB will be offered. Referenced for some time, however, inventories remain desperately empty. OCZ tells us that shipments will start sometime next week. The architecture of the Colossus takes the concept of SSD RAID0 of two classics. We therefore find two controllers Indilinx Barefoot, many flash memory chips Samsung MLC signed, and a controller RAID JMicron origin.

OCZ Announces sequential speeds of 260 Mb / s in both reading and writing, with a sustained write at 220 MBps and 14 000 IOPS, or about 56 MB / s random write 4 KB One is to limit the Serial ATA 3 Gb / s. The Colossus is guaranteed for 3 years. It has an MTBF of 1.5 million hours. The super-SSD from OCZ is referenced in France from € 489.99 for the 128GB model count € 924.99 for 256GB, and € 1549.99 for the 512 GB The Colossus is 1024 GB referenced from 3199 € in Germany. The model most accessible approach therefore 4 per gigabyte ... The consumer will then decide whether the performance gain compared to less expensive options is the difference.
