OCZ Technology today released the Colossus 3.5" Solid State Drive (SSD) Series, designed to meet the performance and storage demands of high-end desktop users and enterprise clients.

"The new Colossus Series is designed to boost desktop and workstation performance and is for high power users that put a premium on speed, reliability and maximum storage capacity," said Eugene Chang, VP of Product Management at the OCZ Technology Group. "The Colossus core-architecture is also available to enterprise clients with locked BOMs (build of materials) and customized firmware to match their unique applications."

In addition to capacities up to 1TB, the OCZ Colossus delivers high performance made possible by an internal RAID 0 architecture:



The Colossus line is built with cost-effective multi-level cell (MLC) flash to make it a viable option for enterprise clients.

The Colossus SSD is available in 128GB, 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB solutions to accommodate a broader spectrum of applications than current 2.5? SSD products; the 3.5" housing is a straight drop in for many existing rack systems. The Colossus SSD series has a 1.5 million hour mean time between failures (MTBF) and comes backed by a 3-year warranty.
