OCZ Apex Series SATAII 2.5โ€ Solid State Drives OCZ SSDs

OCZ, a company we're featuring rather a lot of late, have taken the
wraps off a new range of 'cost-efficient' 2.5' Solid State Drives known
as the OCZ Apex SSD Series which are billed as being 'The affordable
midrange offering for enthusiasts, system builders, and mainstream
computer users demanding the latest technology in this fast-developing
sector of the storage market'.

The new OCZ Apex Series SATAII 2.5' Solid State Drives are set to become
available in 60GB, 120GB and 250GB capacities and offer read speeds up
to 230MB/s and write speeds of up to 160MB/s and purportedly offer a
MTBF of around 1.5 million hours and shock resistance of 1500G.

The Apex Series of SSDs come with 'new internal RAID0 architecture' and
will come with a 2 year warranty (handy, as the failure rate on SSDs in
general remains considerably higher than that of traditional hard disk
drives).

No news as yet concerning date of release or unit pricing but it's
undoubtedly in OCZ's interests to price its new Apex range of Solid
State Drives particularly competitively so as to increase the market
share of those opting to go the SSD route.
