1TB Colossus SSD to ship this month for $2,500
About two months back we announced the unveiling of OCZ's 1TB Colossus SSD. At that time the company hadn't disclosed a price or an official release date outside of an 8-week launch timeframe. They've recently made this information public, and we weren't kidding when we said you would pay dearly.
OCZ's 1TB Colossus boasts maximum read speeds of 250MB/s and write speeds of 200MB/s. It is comprised of two SSD components arranged in a RAID 0 configuration and driven by a JMicron controller. Every aspect of the device keeps true to its name.

| InsaneVr6 on August 3, 2009 4:36 PM | Finally! an SSD with a large amount of space that we can
actually use. But, I don't have 2500 to spend on one when
next year that last zero will fall off... When I bought my first flash drive it was $50 dollars for a 1GB. Now you can pay $10 dollars for an $8GB stick. It's all about timing. |

| Guest on August 4, 2009 5:57 PM | I recall computers (BIG SYSTEMS) with smaller total ram than
Apples Keyboard... I recall paying $400+ for a 'doubling of memory' upgrade... I went from 2 megs to 4 megs... Young pups today don't know memory cram problems. I used to work in a shop that closed down to discuss if a 'bit' was available for use. |

| windmill007 on November 18, 2009 11:48 AM | I like 3.5 because it fits most cases still in use today. 2.5 I usually just let it hang there or Velcro.. Not the best option in my option so the 3.5 is a welcome change in my book. Cases have more enough room for multiple 3.5 hard drives |
