OCZ Colossus Cascade SSD to ship in 1TB sizes

Posted on Monday, August 24 2009 @ 12:43 CEST by Thomas De Maesschalck
The OCZ Colossus solid state disks are available in capacities of up to 500GB, but according to FUD Zilla they won't be the biggest disks in the company's lineup. Apparently OCZ is also working on the Colossus Cascade SSD series, which will feature 250GB, 500GB and 1000GB units!

The OCZ Colossus Cascade SSDs will feature four Indilinx SSD controllers, 256MB cache and read/write speeds of up to 260MB/s. Pricing and availability is unknown but if the 1TB model costs twice as much as the 500GB Colossus it could be almost 2,800EUR.
The Colossus will be available in 120GB, 250GB and 500GB capacities, while the Colossus Cascade series will ship in more bourgeois sizes: 250GB, 500GB and 1000GB. The plain Colossus series features read and write speeds of 260MB/s and 128MB of cache and 2x Indilinx controllers, while the Cascade has the same transfer speeds, but packs 256MB of cache and 4x Indilinx controllers. Bear in mind that these aren't the official specs and we haven't confirmed them yet.

We still don't know the prices or availability dates for all of them, but according to some early listings, the Colossus series will cost €399, €749 and €1399 in 120GB, 250GB and 500GB capacities.
