OCZ officially launched its SSD Colossus.
This is a 3.5" SSD, dedicated to desktop computers, a market where SSD manufacturers have not really started to offer specific models.
On a practical point of view, this drive is composed of 2 SSD controller assemble in a RAID setting. The design was not to reach maximal performance levels but rather to support the maximal number of operations per second (IOps).
- 120 GB model:260 MB/s in reading and writing modes, sustained writing at 140 MB/s with 14280 IOps
- 250 GB model:260 MB/s in reading and writing modes, sustained writing at 220 MB/s with 16100 IOps
