OCZ’s Octane SSDs offer up to 1TB of screaming-fast storage
SSDs: Crazy fast, low-powered, indestructible and… Tiny. Swapping your slow, spinning hard drive for a speedy solid state model is a great idea, unless you actually want to store something on your computer. Enter the new Octane range from OCZ, which comes in sizes of up to one terabyte.
Currently OCZ’s 2.5-inch SSDs max out at 480GB, so 1TB is quite a leap. The Octane will come in two flavors. A SATA 2.0 version will transfer data at up to 275MB/s (read), and the SATA 3.0 model reaches 560MB/s.
The launch will be in November, but prices have yet to be disclosed. Anandtech says that OCZ expects prices to come in at around $1.10 – $1.30 per GB, which would make the biggest Octane around $1,300.
