¡Aye carumba! OCZ Technology just made us do a double take this morning with the introduction of its all new Core Series SATA II 2.5 SSDs. Hailed as the “world’s first truly affordable high-performance SSD for consumers,” these drives check in at $169 (32GB), $259 (64GB) and $479 (128GB), which — as you undoubtedly recognize — are amazing price points. Each unit utilizes NAND flash technology, possesses a 1.5-million hour mean time before failure and delivers 120 -

143Mbps read / 80 - 93Mbps write speeds. The sub-0.35ms seek times are also worthy of a tip of the hat, and the low power consumption just makes things unnecessarily sweeter. OCZ doesn’t mention a definitive ship date, but we’re hoping that “available” mention means “right now.”
